This is usually how I find out that it's a holiday. I take a look at the market daily graph, and when it shows a full day instead of a few hours, I check my watch to see if it's Saturday or Sunday. If not, I ask DW "Hey, is it some kind of a holiday today?"

Then you have to figure out what kind of holiday it is:
NYSE closed?
Schools closed?
Local government offices closed?
Trash pick up?
Mail delivery?

If I'm not mistaken, the "Vernal Equinox" was the earliest version of today's colonoscopy........
