Ascension Day is the second day off in May, and next week you can take a long weekend off on both Friday and Monday.
As NTB was able to report during Space Christmas last year, it so happens that all red days that can end up on a weekday will end up on a weekday in 2024.
The year started with:
- 1 January fell on a Monday, extending the Christmas holiday.
In May were:
- Labor Day, May 1, on a Wednesday
- Ascension Day on Thursday 9 May
- National Day, Friday 17 May
- Pentecost following weekend with red day on Monday 20 May
But it’s just to enjoy the days off. From June there are no red days in the calendar until Christmas.
Christmas Eve is this year on a Tuesday, and Christmas Day and Boxing Day will therefore be Wednesday and Thursday. Friday will be a cramped day.
