On the horizon

Vacation days through year’s end: Keep a close eye on the week of 2 October, which will be truncated — and which could be bookended by two long weekends:

  • Islamic New Year could fall on Sunday, 2 October or Monday, 3 October. It’s a national holiday.
  • Armed Forces Day (6 October) falls this year on a Thursday, so you’re safe to make plans for a three-day weekend there.
  • November appears vacation-free — let us know if we’re mistaken, folks. (Unless you’re declaring, as so many do, that US Thanksgiving is a personal holiday and taking a long weekend 24-26 November.)
  • The Prophet’s Birthday will fall on 11 or 12 December, presenting the possibility of another long weekend there.
  • Western Christmas is on Sunday, 25 January
  • New Year’s Day is on Sunday, 1 January
