Can't wait for tomb sweeping day

The nice thing about Nathan working as an FSO is that he not only gets the US federal holidays off, but also those of the host country.  So here are all the holidays the he will have off while we're in China.  (Not counting vacation or R&R!)

• January 1 Tuesday - New Year’s Day
• January 21 Monday - MLK Jr.’s Birthday
• February 9-13 Sat-Wed - Chinese (Lunar) New Year
• February 18 Monday - Presidents’ Day
• April 4 Thursday - Tomb Sweeping Day
• May 1 Wednesday - International Labor Day
• May 27 Monday - Memorial Day
• June 12 Wednesday - Dragon Boat Festival
• July 4 Thursday - Independence Day
• September 2 Monday - Labor Day
• September 19 Thursday - Mid-Autumn Festival
• October 1-3 Tue-Thu - Chinese National Day
• October 14 Monday - Columbus Day
• November 11 Monday - Veterans Day
• November 28 Thursday - Thanksgiving Day
• December 25 Wednesday - Christmas Day 

Tomb sweeping day (not sure what the history of that is) will be shortly after we arrive in Shenyang so it will be nice to have a day to take a breather.
