What are the dates of Thanksgiving day, Father's day, Holi, Diwali, Friendship Day and Halloween?

U.S. Holiday Dates for 2006-2009

• Hi, Could you please provide a list of U.S. dates for the following holidays in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009? I know some are ?fixed? and some are ?variable? ? it?s too much for my brain to handle, so I?m looking for a detail-oriented GA researcher to provide an accurate list. I do not need the days of the week, but if any of the biggies (paid time-off holidays?) fall on a weekend, I?d like the ?observed? date(s) too. For example: Independence Day = July 4 (Observed July 5). And lastly, please check my spelling/style on all, if possible ? President?s vs. Presidents? vs. Presidents? Martin Luther King ? should there be a Jr. in there? Chanukah vs. Hanukkah? Is there even an Election Day every year? See what I mean? I?m hopeless. Thanks, in advance, for your help!
