As compared to October and November this year, December does not have a lot of national holidays. The reason for more numbers of holidays in the past two months were the festivities. December, there is only Christmas Day on 25th which happens to be a national holiday. However, Christmas this year will fall on the fourth Saturday of the month, which is a notified bank holiday. Weekend leaves are included too. All Sundays, along with second and fourth Saturdays are closed for Banks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
