Remove holidays from calendar

Remove holidays from calendar

[Brendan Halpin]

Info tells me I can easily add holidays to the calendar, but I have been
trying for a long time to find a way of removing irrelevant ones.

My org-mode agenda, for instance, tells me that today is the "Birth of
the Bab", and Monday is "Grenada's Thanksgiving", neither of which has
the remotest consequence for my work plans!

How can I get rid of *all* the religious and foreign (esp US)
holidays?

You could create a custom calendar. For example, here is Finnish
calender:

If you create national holiday settings consider adding them to this
Emacs wiki page:

Thanks: I see the critical element is:

(setq calendar-holidays holiday-finnish-holidays)

In other words, over-writing the default with your own version.

Thanks for the pointer; the wiki looks interesting.
