About these holidays
New Year's Day
1 January. In many countries the day off moves to the following Monday when it falls on a weekend.
The first day of the Gregorian calendar year, and the most widely observed public holiday in the world — a day off in almost every country that uses the Gregorian calendar, regardless of religion. Several countries extend the break to 2 January, and some in East Asia keep both the Gregorian and a separate lunar new year.
Children's Day
1 June across the post-Soviet states and much of Asia; other dates elsewhere.
Honours children. A public holiday in a number of countries, and in China a day off for children under thirteen rather than for everyone.
