We have > holidays in Germany where people in some regions get a day of and in > others they don't In most countries it also depends on the business you're working in. Offices and Industries are closed on Christmas, but employees of restaurants, bars, etc have to work. So a day of for one person, doesn't mean everybody has a day off. But here i holland we have our own independance day (5th of may), but most people get off once every 4 year.. Christian holidays are mostly the days that people get a day off. But i think Date_Holiday is a good name, it's not called Date_GetADayOff or something like that. Even if you're don't get a day off, it doesn't mean it's not a holiday. Just my 2 cents, Dave
