The shift ignores the year: +19 days means 19 days later in the calendar. ISO weeks run Monday to Sunday. Moon-based: future dates are expected, and official announcements can differ by a day. Dates: Indonesia's dates, from the holidays package; other countries can differ by a day.

Why the date moves

Hari Raya Idul Fitri, Lebaran in Indonesia, is Eid al-Fitr: it follows the Islamic calendar, so it comes about 11 days earlier every year. Indonesia sets its own date, which can differ from the Middle East by a day.

What it does to monthly comparisons

When a holiday or the days around it change month, one month looks better and another worse against the year before, even if nothing about the business changed.

Lebaran shopping (shopping and the trip home (mudik), the 2 weeks before Lebaran):

2025 to 2026: 17 Mar – 30 Mar 2025 → 7 Mar – 20 Mar 2026. The same days in each month, so monthly comparisons hold.
2026 to 2027: 7 Mar – 20 Mar 2026 → 24 Feb – 9 Mar 2027. Days in each month: February 0 → 5 days, March 14 → 9 days.

Lebaran leave (collective leave (cuti bersama), about a week around Lebaran):

2025 to 2026: 29 Mar – 4 Apr 2025 → 19 Mar – 25 Mar 2026. Days in each month: March 3 → 7 days, April 4 → 0 days.
2026 to 2027: 19 Mar – 25 Mar 2026 → 8 Mar – 14 Mar 2027. The same days in each month, so monthly comparisons hold.
