As my original post went unanswerd, as to how or if one can add holidays to
Windows Calendar, when I did find the answer, I thought that I would let
others here know, in case anyone else was wondering as I had been.

One needs to "subscribe" to another calendar which offers the specific, i.e
national, religious... holidays that are desired for the calendar. I found
the ones that I am using at http://www.calendardata.com/ . The operation of
"subscribing" to the particular calendar was easy enough; albiet a little
disconserting as to whether or not I would be subscribing to a calendar with
more information than just the holidays I was looking for; however, it would
have been easier were Microsoft to either offer the "option" of adding
holidays-- as in previous versions of thier calendar, or to have listed in
the help files something that tells the user that they need to subscribe to
another calendar to "load" the holidays that they choose, and perhaps offer a
list of "Microsoft or Vista approved" calendars from which the user can
choose, without fear of subscribing to unwanted material from an unknown
source.

Since when do newsgroup articles have "I Agree" or any other kind of
buttons?

Thank you for that information. I was having the darnest time trying to find
information pertaining to this.
