If I were some mad tyrant ruling the world and making arbitrary laws on a whim, one of my first acts would be to declare that every month will have one major holiday, and that all holidays shall be contained in their month. Bank holidays don’t count, just the big thematic ones.
Since I’d also be fixing the calendar, that works out to 13 holidays, plus new years and leap day.
My version of this has always been 30 days before the holiday, or the day after the previous holiday, whichever is less.
First day showed for…
Valentine’s Day? January 15th
Easter? March 18th - March 25th (since Easter can be between March 22nd and April 25th, but can’t encroach on St Patrick’s Day territory on March 17th)
Thanksgiving? November 1st
Christmas? November 25th - November 29th (Turkey Day ranges from Nov 22nd to Nov 28th)
I’m with you on New Year’s Day not being January 1st and instead being a non-day.

I’m here for this. Can you also limit Christmas music to like…. The week before Christmas?
