Panic Saturday
[edit]This day is also known as Panic Saturday. A Panic Saturday wiki page should be created and linked to Super Saturday. Reference: https://www.google.com/search?q=panic+saturday 80.4.63.73 (talk) 14:51, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
What happens if Christmas falls on Sunday?
[edit]What happens if Christmas falls on Sunday (this last happened in 2005, and will happen again in 2011)? In that case, the Saturday before Christmas falls on Dec. 24, which is Christmas Eve. Is Christmas Eve really Super Saturday in those years? Or does Dec. 17 become Super Saturday? Or is it some other day? 24.184.64.197 (talk) 04:36, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
- It seems to be that it would fall on December 17. This means that the rule in infobox should be changed. -- 签名 sig at 08:23, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
- Note that, for example in Poland, the main day of Christmas celebration with a Christmas meal etc., known in Polish as Wigilia, is on Christmas Eve, i.e. December 24th., so does having a Super Saturday on Chrismas Eve make sense? Or perhaps Super Saturday is an American-centric phenomenon? Just like Thanksgiving and Apple Pie? ;-) 80.4.63.73 (talk) 15:07, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
