The perpetual calendar

Andrew Usher wrote:
Owing to the inconveniences which attend the shifting of the calendar,
and attempting in passing to create a more perfect Church calendar, I
say the following:
1. That Christmas day should be fixed to a Sunday, and this should be
the Sunday between Dec. 21 and 27, and that in all civilised countries
the Monday should be considered a holiday, or the Saturday if not
normally.
et seq
Give the sound of your name, I suppose you would also renumber the
years, with year 1 in what is now 4004 BC.
I'm taking a survey...how many were thinking something along the same lines?...
(On a more serious note, I'd like to see an actual printed calendar for Andrew's
proposed system...I have a gnawing unease that it may actually make Friday the
13th *more* common than it is already)....r

An optometrist asks whether you see the glass
more full like this?...or like this?
