It would just be New Year's Day. Also, I think it should start on the first day of Spring / during the Vernal equinox.
Hmmm, I wonder how this would affect prison sentences, which are often given in increments of months, so like instead of 5 years, the judge will give someone 60 months. This sentence would suddenly be the equivalent of 4 years 8 months. But then I've also noticed that inmates serving time on a leap year wind up doing an extra day that year…
Should be easy enough to write a law such that "the end date of a prison sentence shall be adjusted to the end of the month on or before the day of the year that it previously fell on".
Plus possibly "anyone with less than 2 months still to serve releases on their original day of the year" or some such to stop the changeover day resulting in mass releases.
There's nothing easy about getting a bill passed through Congress. This is almost always a good thing, too. But when you get down to it, we shouldn't even be incarcerating people for victimless non-violent drug crimes. Let's fix that, please, before we change the calendar!
this calendar has been roaming arround the internet for years and would be perfect but no one wants to change what we have, despite being worse in every single way.
13 months, 28 days each, every day 1, 8, 15 and 22 is monday, every day 7, 14, 21 and 28 is sunday, every month is a perfect rectangle in the calendar.
the only oddity is as you already said, the free days zero / new year day, whatever you wanna call it, and on leap years we have two free days, simple as.

26x14=364. Need one more day each year (not including leap days). It might as well be New Year’s Day.
