Yesss, it's time for a poll![Poll #1888766]

Additional note to mods: please let me know in the comments if you have specific January weekends when you are or are not available.  I'll be posting a new Master Schedule soon (which will probably attempt to take over the world, only to be foiled by the Doctor Schedule).

All Celebrations will take place on the Saturday as far as I know. People are just complained loud enough that the day off was scheduled for the Monday. Australia Day is always celebrated on the 26th even if the public holiday doesn't occur then.

EDIT: I feel like that came off a little passive aggressive. That wasn't my intention. I just hate when people complain cause a holidays falls on weekend and they don't get the extra day off.

Here in the US, it's very usual to move the day-off. Our wall calendars will say things like - for instance - "Independence Day (Observed)", meaning that July 4th fell on a Saturday or Sunday so people are having the Monday off work, even though the fireworks are always on the 4th. Is that sort of thing Not Done in Australia? *curious*

It is so Australia Day we will celebrate on the Saturday and then on the Monday everyone will have the day off. It just annoys me that people kick up a stink about not having an extra day off especially for Australia Day when all most people do is sit around and get drunk! Anyway now I've answered your question I'll stop ranting :D
