For the US, the eleven federal holidays on the day they are observed. For the UK, the eight England and Wales bank holidays, including substitute days when Christmas or New Year falls at a weekend. Scotland and Northern Ireland have extra days, and US states and Canadian provinces have their own, so subtract those where they apply.
