Why the date is what it is

Fixed date, can shift. The holiday has a fixed calendar date, but an observance rule can move the day off when it falls on a weekend or next to another holiday.

That is why Christmas Day does not land on the same day everywhere in 2027. Countries applying the rule against a different calendar, a different observation, or a different official announcement arrive at neighbouring dates. Where the difference is one day it is almost always a sighting or an announcement rather than a mistake, and each country page names the authority that fixed it.

In five countries the calendar date falls on a weekend and the day off is granted on another day. That is one holiday with a shifted day off, not two holidays, so it is counted once here, on the day actually taken. The methodology page sets out the rule in full.
