American holidays printed in the day spaces. Other planners also in Quo Vadis's Exacompta Prestige line are the Journal 21, Daily Pocket, Space 24 and Space 17.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550291806241735598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763264385856038915.post-47405506344770891662013-11-06T18:22:28.023+00:002013-11-06T18:22:28.023+00:00I've been happy with the approach to holidays ...I've been happy with the approach to holidays on my Quo Vadis Visual planner - they are subtly listed at the top of the days in Week view, listed at the bottom of the Month view and marked in gray if a federal holiday, and a fairly complete listing of International holidays is on two reference pages at the front.<br /><br />I'm particularly happy that US and Canadian holidays are both listed, as I work for a bi-national company. I'm assuming my Visual is a specific North American edition, as Quo Vadis also prints planners for other countries. Or maybe the Visual is North American only?Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00439533442915361300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763264385856038915.post-45647743347225060122013-11-05T13:59:10.819+00:002013-11-05T13:59:10.819+00:00Hi Christine, thanks for your comment!

I have to admit your products are my gold standard for holidays, moon phases, monthly info like birthstones, etc.! I love the added special days too.

Before our most recent year of production, we did an informal poll of or Facebook members and most people who replied love having the holidays listed. We have added even more special days to our pieces in recent years.<br /><br />It is definitely more expensive to have them included with every product style...all of that proofing, but we want to always provide the consumer with what they find most useful.

You are able to save your own list of dates to be printed on the pages, and at least on the US site can choose whether you want American, Australian, Danish, etc., holidays. The UK site previously just printed UK holidays; I don't know if that offers a choice now. The holidays and personal dates are in very tiny printing so they don't take much space either.mstraathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451250623476899317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763264385856038915.post-78437152085324553282013-11-02T04:01:26.569+00:002013-11-02T04:01:26.569+00:00I'm a teacher, so we usually have days off aro...I'm a teacher, so we usually have days off around holidays. So, for me personally, it wouldn't really matter. However, I'm sure I'm in the minority here. But I agree with Tim--they're marketing for a global economy now. And Rori--it does take up space!<br />PMJane O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09097103842673140462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763264385856038915.post-9090504432272352022013-11-02T01:41:12.102+00:002013-11-02T01:41:12.102+00:00Hate 'em.

That's the one downside of my new Organized Mum inserts - I have to enter US holidays, like Thanksgiving, since they only have UK holidays (from what I can tell)! <br /><br />It's not a deal breaker, but it just looks so much nicer when they are pre-printed.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04346260444417012917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763264385856038915.post-80749566678323591982013-11-01T16:52:01.924+00:002013-11-01T16:52:01.924+00:00Sunday and Monday are my weekend (I work Saturdays...Sunday and Monday are my weekend (I work Saturdays) so I'm always suffering with the ubiquitous Monday start pages. And recent planning for a UK trip not only required looking up standard holidays but school holidays too so really, for travel I'd never rely on holidays on a printed page. But for phone calls, etc., I think the separate list of holidays is best. I recall Day Timer pages from years ago that had international holiday lists.Christine Cortesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313316307757263323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763264385856038915.post-15429354483770156532013-11-01T12:09:21.407+00:002013-11-01T12:09:21.407+00:00I definitely like the holidays preprinted--one rea...I definitely like the holidays preprinted--one reason I hate DIY pages--but I am only interested in US holidays.

Ideally they would just want to manufacture one version for the English speaking world, one for the French etc. This isn't that easy! For example: most countries now take Monday as the start to the working week, whereas some still like the traditional Sunday start. <br /><br />Mothering Sunday is a good example of why Moleskine has stopped printing dates. Wikipedia says there are 32 different days that are used worldwide to mark Mother's Day! <br /><br />Personally, if it's now uneconomic to print a bespoke UK or European version, I think a printed page of dates in the planner is probably the best compromise. We live in an international world! Users can then browse dates and insert them on the dated pages as they prefer.Tim Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04320789185450598620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5763264385856038915.post-68969553990918004492013-11-01T11:10:06.404+00:002013-11-01T11:10:06.404+00:00This is one reason I love having a digital planner...This is one reason I love having a digital planner too. I have downloaded the iCal calendars of holidays that pertain to me, but they don't interfere with my paper planner. I do find it annoying when there is a long list taking up a lot of space in a small planner box.
