I never thought of it that way. But you raise an excellent point!

Hell, why not make it a Monday Holiday!?

If it were all up to me, I'd make ten months, each with 36 days, made up
of 6 six-day weeks. The extra 5 or 6 days would be the "holiday season"
centered around the winter solstice, during which time nobody would work.
