The Monday Holiday Magic of 2015 <\/h2>\n

\n3. Late Summer Bank Holiday<\/b> (August 31st) \u2013 The last summer hurrah <\/p>\n

Pro tip: When holidays fall on weekends, the “substitute day” rule usually bumps them to Mondays \u2013 but 2015 played nice with naturally occurring Monday holidays!<\/p>\n

2015 vs. Other Years <\/h2>\n
