Well I was given this in math here goes.
In what year of our modern calender go Christmas and new years day fall on different days of the week? I just don't know this
In 1939
I looked at a 1938, 39 & 40 calender and they are all still on the same day. What am I missing thanks for your help
I also looked and found something about 1939 but it did not tell me why so I alos looked at that year calender and the were same day and a week apart. HUM
I found the same answer, but also found that answer (1939) was wrong by checking those calendars.
It's a trick question.
In any year Christmas and New Years will fall on different days of the week.
Check this 2009 calendar and you'll find that Christmas and New Year's Days are on different days of the week.

Thanks for the link it really helped
You're welcome.
To determine in which year Christmas and New Year's Day fall on different days of the week, you'll need to take a look at the calendar and how it repeats itself over time.
Christmas always falls on December 25th, while New Year's Day falls on January 1st. To figure out if they fall on different days of the week, you need to determine the day of the week for both dates.
One way to approach this is to use a perpetual calendar or an online tool that can calculate the day of the week for any given date. These tools take into account the leap years and the specific rules for calculating the day of the week. They are often based on the Zeller's Congruence algorithm, which allows you to determine the day of the week for any date in history.
Using one of these tools, you can look for a year where December 25th (Christmas) and January 1st (New Year's Day) fall on different days of the week. These occurrences are relatively rare because the number of days in a year (365) is not an exact multiple of 7 (the number of days in a week).
For example, using a perpetual calendar, you can find that in the year 2024, Christmas falls on a Wednesday, while New Year's Day falls on a Tuesday. Therefore, in the year 2024, Christmas and New Year's Day fall on different days of the week.
By applying the same method, you can find other years in which this occurs. It's important to remember that these patterns repeat every few years, so you may find future years when Christmas and New Year's Day fall on different days of the week as well.
