Hi Josh, 
I understand Henrik's request as an attempt to make things 
easier for us system admins. We have holidays where we do not 
want to be interrupted by an urgent message from the Hobbit 
monitor. 
Those are the holidays that we want Hobbit Monitor to recognize 
in the future versions. 
We would not want to put in those holidays that are only for some 
sysadmins in that country, or we would risk that an urgent message 
would not be sent to the corresponding sysadmin. 
This could happen if a day is listed as a holiday, while it in fact, 
is not a holiday (for an area or religion). 
Those kind of holidays are best left out of the list. 
Then the local sysadmin can put them in or enable them. 

That is my view of how to narrow down the holidays, that we really
should list.
