The puzzles here follow the American calendar from winter to fall: Presidents Day in February, St Patrick's Day in March, Mother's Day and Memorial Day in May, Father's Day in June, the Fourth of July, Labor Day at the end of summer and Veterans Day in November. Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween and Christmas are here too, each with a full collection of its own.
Several of these days moved in 1971, when the Uniform Monday Holiday Act put federal holidays on Mondays to give workers more three-day weekends. Washington's Birthday became the third Monday in February, Memorial Day left its fixed date of May 30 for the last Monday in May, and Veterans Day spent a few years in October until Congress returned it to November 11 in 1978, the day the First World War armistice was signed in 1918.
