Proposal: Mark Monday, December 30, 2024, as a Holiday in Japan

[acevif]

In Japan, Monday, December 30, 2024, was treated as a holiday in many places.

• Government offices were closed, in accordance with the "Act on Holidays of Administrative Organs" (https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/law/363AC0000000091). (Related: #509)
• Schools were on winter vacation and therefore closed.
• Many companies followed suit, taking the same day off as government offices.

Hence, I believe we should designate it as a holiday. May I have your opinion on this?

日本において、2024年12月30日(月曜日)は多くの場所で休日でした。

• 官公庁がお休みです。 これは 行政機関の休日に関する法律 https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/law/363AC0000000091 によります。(関連: #509 )
• 学校は冬休み期間のため、お休みです。
• 多くの企業が官公庁にならいお休みです。

そのため、休日とするのがいいと思いますが、ご意見いただけませんか?

Based on a quick search, banks in Japan were indeed open on December 30, 2024, which would typically exclude it from being a public or bank holiday.

Also, speaking from my experience in Japan, it's not uncommon for December 30th to be a regular working day depending on the year and company, so classifying it generally might need careful consideration.
