Weekdays by the local weekend (Sunday and Saturday), minus the public holidays most people have off.
The first day of the calendar year in the Gregorian calendar, 1 January. Cultures and religions that follow a lunisolar or lunar calendar celebrate their New Year at other points of the year. Japan celebrates New Year on 1 January, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar, instead of with the Chinese calendar that was in use until 1873.
At work: Fine to mention, and a natural moment to wish colleagues well.
2 March is named after James Ronald Webster (born 2 March 1926), who ended the Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla federation in 1967 and became Anguilla's first Chief Minister. The holiday was established in 2010.
At work: Fine to mention with respect. A day off.
A solemn Christian holy day commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus, observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum. It falls on the Friday immediately before Easter Sunday.
At work: Fine to mention the long weekend. It is a sombre day for those who observe it, so avoid "Happy Good Friday". Its date moves every year with Easter, so check the calendar when planning spring deadlines.
Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus and is the most important feast of the Christian year. Families go to church and share a festive meal, and in many places Easter eggs are decorated and broken together as a symbol of the empty tomb. Easter is a moveable feast, with its date set by a lunisolar calendar. Easter Monday, the day after, is a public holiday in more than 50 predominantly Christian countries.
At work: Widely welcome to mention. Colleagues may be away for the whole long weekend.

International Workers' Day, on 1 May, honours workers and the labour movement. The date was chosen to commemorate the 1886 general strike in the United States that culminated in the Haymarket affair, and the day was adopted in support of a "great international demonstration" for the eight-hour day.
At work: Fine to mention the day off. In some countries it has a political side, so keep it about the break.
Whit Monday is the day after Pentecost, which commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on Jesus's followers on the 50th day after Easter. Pentecost is a Sunday, so the holiday is the Monday that follows.
At work: A long weekend. Plan around slower replies.
30 May is Anguilla Day. On 30 May 1967 Anguillans forcibly ejected the St Kitts police force from the island, the start of the Anguillian Revolution that led to separation from Saint Kitts and Nevis.
At work: Fine to mention. A day off.
The official birthday of the King, a holiday in places where King Charles III is head of state. It is celebrated on a chosen official day, usually around late May or June, not on his actual birthday of 14 November. The Falkland Islands keep 14 November itself. Most such places release a Birthday Honours list at this time.
At work: Fine to mention. A day off, often a Monday, so a long weekend. The date differs by place, so check the calendar.
August Monday, the first Monday of August, begins Carnival week in Anguilla. August Thursday is the Thursday after it, and Constitution Day follows on the Friday of the same week.
At work: Welcome to mention. Expect a festive week and some quiet offices.

The Friday after the first Monday in August, the last of the August public holidays in Anguilla's Carnival week.

19 December is a public holiday in Anguilla in honour of national heroes and heroines.
At work: Fine to mention with respect. A day off.
Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on 25 December. Eastern Christian Churches that follow the older Julian calendar celebrate it on 25 December of that calendar, which currently corresponds to 7 January. It is a public holiday in many countries, and many non-Christians celebrate it culturally too.
At work: Widely welcome to mention. Plan important meetings before the break. If you're unsure whether someone celebrates it, "Happy holidays" is a safe choice.
Boxing Day is celebrated on 26 December, the day after Christmas. It was once a day to donate gifts to those in need and has become part of the Christmas festivities. It originated in the United Kingdom and is celebrated in several Commonwealth nations. It is usually concurrent with Saint Stephen's Day, which in parts of Europe is the second day of Christmas.
At work: Fine to mention. It is part of the Christmas break.
