@fahrni I saw an article saying that the French are masters of holidays. May I present the Latvians.
This time we have four days off: May Day, the weekend, and the Restoration of Independence Day on May 4. If a public holiday falls on a weekend, the lost day off is moved to Monday.

@fahrni Every fourth year we also have the Song and Dance Festival, which always ends on Sunday, so that means Monday is a holiday. If there is a national holiday on Tuesday or Thursday, we swap one of the Saturdays with that Monday or Friday in between to get a longer break — and one less lazy ‘working day’ Saturday.
