Day of the week
A company decides that whenever Xmas falls on a Sunday they will give their workers all extra paid holidays so that, together with any public holidays, workers will not have to work the following week (between the 25th of December and the first of January).
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
In what years between 2008 and 2121 will the 25th of December be a Sunday?
Using any standard date handling libraries of your programming language; compare the dates calculated with the output of other languages to discover any anomalies in the handling of dates which may be due to, for example, overflow in types used to represent dates/times similar to y2k type problems.

Forth
Forth has only TIME&DATE, which does not give day of week. Many public Forth Julian date calculators had year-2100 problems, but this algorithm works well.

The first lines of output (from a 32bit GNU/Linux system, date version 6.9) are
Sun Dec 25 00:00:00 CET 2011 Sun Dec 25 00:00:00 CET 2016 Sun Dec 25 00:00:00 CET 2022 Sun Dec 25 00:00:00 CET 2033 date: invalid date `2038-12-25'
I.e., starting from year 2038, the date command (which uses the glibc library, at least on GNU systems), is not able to recognise the date as a valid one!
Different machine/OS version (64 bit)
This is the same command run on RedHat Linux.
