As I would expect.  One way we could accomplish this is to define them
separately.  For example, the religious files could define religious
Christmas, while the secular ones define public Christmas.

In Catholicism, Lutheranism, Eastern Orthodoxy, we number all the Sundays.
 For example, yesterday was the 12th Sunday of Ordinary Time, meaning
roughly that it's the 12th Sunday of the year, not counting 6 Sundays
before Easter to 7 after Easter.

I know it wouldn't affect parsing.  I was just announcing that I would list
Christian holidays December-November.  The dates are all the same; it's
just a more natural way for me to think of them.
