Using the minimal Dates module from the Find the last Sunday of_each month#Oberon-07 sample (code not repeated here), we can solve the task:
MODULE ChristmasAndNewYear;
IMPORT Dates, Out;
PROCEDURE OutDayName ( day : INTEGER ) ;
BEGIN
IF day = Dates.SUNDAY THEN Out.String( "Sunday" )
ELSIF day = Dates.MONDAY THEN Out.String( "Monday" )
ELSIF day = Dates.TUESDAY THEN Out.String( "Tuesday" )
ELSIF day = Dates.WEDNESDAY THEN Out.String( "Wednesday" )
ELSIF day = Dates.THURSDAY THEN Out.String( "Thursday" )
ELSIF day = Dates.FRIDAY THEN Out.String( "Friday" )
ELSIF day = Dates.SATURDAY THEN Out.String( "Saturday" )
ELSE Out.String( "Invaliday" )
END
END OutDayName ;

Ruby
This uses the same years as the Raku example. The Ruby Date class does however take the calendar reform (default 1582) into account, so the days for 1578 differ from all other languages so far.
require 'date'
years = [1578, 1590, 1642, 1957, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2242, 2245, 2393]
years.each do |year|
xmas = Date.new(year,12,25).strftime("%A")
ny = Date.new(year, 1, 1).strftime("%A")
puts "In #{year}, New year's day is on a #{ny}, and Christmas day on #{xmas}."
end
- Output:
In 1578, New year's day is on a Wednesday, and Christmas day on Thursday. In 1590, New year's day is on a Monday, and Christmas day on Tuesday. In 1642, New year's day is on a Wednesday, and Christmas day on Thursday. In 1957, New year's day is on a Tuesday, and Christmas day on Wednesday. In 2020, New year's day is on a Wednesday, and Christmas day on Friday. In 2021, New year's day is on a Friday, and Christmas day on Saturday. In 2022, New year's day is on a Saturday, and Christmas day on Sunday. In 2242, New year's day is on a Saturday, and Christmas day on Sunday. In 2245, New year's day is on a Wednesday, and Christmas day on Thursday. In 2393, New year's day is on a Friday, and Christmas day on Saturday.
Wren
This uses the same years as the Raku example.
The above module uses the Gregorian Proleptic calendar and therefore gives the wrong days of the week for 1578 as the earliest year for the adoption of the Gregorian calendar was 1582 when 10 days (from 5th until 14th October inclusive) were omitted. To get the correct days for 1578 (and agree with the Ruby entry) we therefore need to add 10 days to the Gregorian date which the Date.fromJulian method does automatically.
import "./date" for Date
System.print("Days of week per Gregorian Proleptic calendar:")
var years = [1578, 1590, 1642, 1957, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2242, 2245, 2393]
for (year in years) {
var newYear = Date.new(year, 1, 1).weekDay
var xmas = Date.new(year, 12, 25).weekDay
System.print(" In %(year), New year's day is on a %(newYear), and Christmas day on %(xmas).")
}
System.print("\nActual days for 1578 (Julian calendar) were 10 days later:")
System.print(" New Year's day was on %(Date.fromJulian(1578, 1, 1).weekDay), and Christmas day on %(Date.fromJulian(1578, 12, 25).weekDay).")
- Output:
