: : what day of the week was Jan 1 2011 and what day was dec 25 2011?

: : dep: I know the answer because it is a repeat but I had a problem with it then too lol.

: : : Fact is, If you look at the calendar, Christmas day and NY's day do fall on the same day, its just that we traditionally celebrate NY eve rather than the day. Which would make the celebrations on 2 diff days.

: : : Oh and for the 1939 part, they were still the same 7 days apart... it was a red herring to the question lol.

: : : : Everyone knows that both Christmas Day and New Year's Day always fall on the same day of the week. However, in 1939, the year of the outbreak of World War II, Christmas fell on a Monday and New Year's fell on a Sunday. Why?
