Day of the week of Christmas and New Year is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
Task


Determine programatically and show on this page on what weekday Christmas Day, 2021 and New Year's Day, 2022 will fall or did fall.

Python

<lang python> iimport datetime

weekDays = ("Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday") thisXMas = datetime.date(2021,12,25) thisXMasDay = thisXMas.weekday() thisXMasDayAsString = weekDays[thisXMasDay] print("This year's Christmas is on a {}".format(thisXMasDayAsString))

nextNewYear = datetime.date(2022,1,1) nextNewYearDay = nextNewYear.weekday() nextNewYearDayAsString = weekDays[nextNewYearDay+1] print("Next new year is on a {}".format(nextNewYearDayAsString)) </lang>

Output:
This year's Christmas is on a Saturday
Next new year is on a Sunday

Raku

<lang perl6>my @d-o-w = < Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday >;

.say for (flat 2020..2022, (1500 .. 2500).roll(7)).sort.map: { 

    "In {$_}, New Years is on a { @d-o-w[Date.new($_,  1,  1).day-of-week % 7] }, " ~
    "and Christmas on a { @d-o-w[Date.new($_, 12, 25).day-of-week % 7] }."
