Programming for Holidays

[pftq]

In case anyone finds it useful, this is the code I use to automatically detect US holidays.  I don't claim credit for it - added bits and pieces over the years from various sources until it was complete enough that I didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Code:

        public bool isHoliday(DateTime date)
        {
            return GetHolidays(date.Year).Contains(date.Date);
        }

        public bool isHalfDay(DateTime date)
        {
            if (date.Month == 7 && date.Day == 3) return true;

            if (date.Month == 12 && date.Day == 24) return true;

            //if (date.Date == CalcGoodFri(date.Year).AddDays(-1)) return true;

            // Day after Thanksgiving
            var thanksgivingFriday = (from day in Enumerable.Range(1, 30)
                                where new DateTime(date.Year, 11, day).DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Friday
                                select day).ElementAt(3);
            DateTime thanksgivingFridayDate = new DateTime(date.Year, 11, thanksgivingFriday);
            if (date.Date == thanksgivingFridayDate) return true;

            return false;
        }

        private HashSet<DateTime> GetHolidays(int year) 
        { 
            HashSet<DateTime> holidays = new HashSet<DateTime>();

            // George W Bush
            if (year == 2018) holidays.Add(new DateTime(2018, 12, 5));

            // New Years
            DateTime newYearsDate = AdjustForWeekendHoliday(new DateTime(year, 1, 1)); 
            holidays.Add(newYearsDate);

            // MLK Day -- 3rd Monday in January 
            var mlk = (from day in Enumerable.Range(1, 30)
                                where new DateTime(year, 1, day).DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday
                                select day).ElementAt(2);
            DateTime mlkDay = new DateTime(year, 1, mlk);
            holidays.Add(mlkDay);

            // President's Day -- 3rd Monday in January 
            var pres = (from day in Enumerable.Range(1, 30)
                       where new DateTime(year, 2, day).DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday
                       select day).ElementAt(2);
            DateTime presDay = new DateTime(year, 2, pres);
            holidays.Add(presDay);

            // Good Friday
            holidays.Add(CalcGoodFri(year));

            // Memorial Day -- last monday in May 
            DateTime memorialDay = new DateTime(year, 5, 31);
            DayOfWeek dayOfWeek = memorialDay.DayOfWeek; 
            while (dayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Monday) 
            { 
                memorialDay = memorialDay.AddDays(-1); 
                dayOfWeek = memorialDay.DayOfWeek; 
            } 
            holidays.Add(memorialDay); 

            // Independence Day
            DateTime independenceDay = AdjustForWeekendHoliday(new DateTime(year, 7, 4)); 
            holidays.Add(independenceDay); 

            // Labor Day -- 1st Monday in September 
            DateTime laborDay = new DateTime(year, 9, 1); 
            dayOfWeek = laborDay.DayOfWeek; 
            while(dayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Monday) 
            { 
                laborDay = laborDay.AddDays(1); 
                dayOfWeek = laborDay.DayOfWeek; 
            } 
            holidays.Add(laborDay);

            // Thanksgiving Day -- 4th Thursday in November 
            var thanksgiving = (from day in Enumerable.Range(1, 30) 
                           where new DateTime(year, 11, day).DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Thursday 
                           select day).ElementAt(3); 
            DateTime thanksgivingDay = new DateTime(year, 11, thanksgiving); 
            holidays.Add(thanksgivingDay);

            // Christmas Day 
            DateTime christmasDay = AdjustForWeekendHoliday(new DateTime(year, 12, 25)); 
            holidays.Add(christmasDay); 

            // Next year's new years check
            DateTime nextYearNewYearsDate = AdjustForWeekendHoliday(new DateTime(year + 1, 1, 1));
            if (nextYearNewYearsDate.Year == year)
            holidays.Add(nextYearNewYearsDate);

            return holidays; 
        }

        private DateTime AdjustForWeekendHoliday(DateTime holiday) 
        { 
            if (holiday.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday) 
            { 
                return holiday.AddDays(-1); 
            } 
            else if (holiday.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday) 
            { 
                return holiday.AddDays(1); 
            } 
            else 
            { 
                return holiday; 
            } 
        }
