How many Public Holidays does your country have?

In the US we have 11 holidays. The states don't usually have their own. At least I don't think so. We celebrate Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving (when the pilgrams settled here), Memorial Day (to honor the vets), Labor Day, 4th of July (when the Declaration of Independence was signed), Veterans Day, Presidents Day (some of their birthdays, they used to be seperate, but now they are all celebrated at one time), Martin Luther King day (his birthday, he was a civil rights leader that was killed) and Columbus Day (he discovered North America). I might have left one out but I don't think so. Is Astrailia still under British Rule? Is it their Queen that you celebrate?

I lost track of the total days of public holidays in my country but probably my country has the most public holidays in the world. Besides only having 5 working days in a week the calendar has more red markings than white which indicates there are more rest days than working days. We have christmas, Easter, King's Birthday, our State Head of State birthday, Deepavali, chinese new year, Harvest festival, and a long lists of muslim festivals etc..Too many public holidays is not good for the growth of economy of the country but since it has been gazetted it is irrevocable.

There are thirteen public holidays in Indonesia. Usually we have New Year's Day, Chinese New Year, Birth of the Prophet, Day of Silence, Good Friday, Buddha's Birthday, Ascension Day, Ascension of the Prophet, Independence Day, End of Ramadan, Feast of the Sacrifice, Islamic New Year, and Christmas. But, some worker are still working, not have time to holidays. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_Indonesia

Here in the UK, we have tons of different Public Holidays for a variety of different reasons. I cannot be bothered to list them all, but the most prominent are Christmas, New Year's, Easter, Bank Holiday, St. Patrick's day (celebrated in Ireland).

HI! Well, I haven't count them till now, but I will check them soon. Now I will tell only about these one that I still have in my mind- the first is January 1st, I think it is a public holiday in many countries. Then it comes March 3th- then is our national holiday and we celebrate our freedom from the 500 year turkish yoke. Then comes May 6th- it is the day of the military, September 22th- the joint of the country, November 1st- day of the leaders of the Bulgarian National. these are the public holidays in my country and maybe there are 1-2 more, which i can't remember now

As far as I am concerned, there are a lot of holidays in my country. From the first of the year is the Jan the 1st,new yaer's day,then I think will be the most important festival,the spring festival in China which can be a biggest holiday .after the spring festival ,there will also a lot of holidays like national holiday,the chong festival and so on .

In my country we have 1 per month.

god..as many as they can get away with. i've actually spaced most of them. most of the holidays in america have lost their point anyway,because if it's not a commercialism excess,it's an excuse to drink.which is totally disrespectful on memorial day.

hi jenny I am in the US so we have Easter, Christmas, New Years day, Martin Luther King day, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, labor day, Valentines Day, then there are the Mothers day and fathers day but nobody closes anything on those days. Flag Day, and Memorial Day, and Veteran's day those are public holidays too.

India being a multicultural land the list of public holidays is quite a long one so as to keep religious and social harmony among the various groups..Each 28 states or 7 territories can have their different state holidays whereas there are only three national holidays on Gandhi Jayanti, Independence Day and Republic day...There are so many holidays that some public bodies have requested to remove few religious holidays where one or the other religion will have a problem so that's obviously not a solution!
