Thanks for the guide.

Thanks for the guide Pr1nce. :)

Thank you so much for helping me with this frustrating issue. I had just seemed to disappear into thin air...

Yep. I did that a while back. Then a new update added them. So then I had them in the calendar twice. Had to make some adjustments. I think one had more "holidays" than the other. Not sure. But they only show once now. I actually use the ones I entered in settings as shown here.
