All our holidays are validated with sponsors or organizations.
We do not have holidays for every single day of the year.  Sites that do, IMHO are making days up.  Beware!
Also, some observances that are validated through website links, can't be updated until their websites update their 2008 information.

Visiting us is free! Our Holiday information is free.   We have always paid all costs and remained ad free as well.
