A user asks: “I am fairly new to Microsoft Project. Is there a tool or resource out there that lists standard US holidays for the next 10 years as formulas that I can plug into Project? (For example, Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November; Memorial Day is the last Monday in May...)

Along those same lines, what's the best way to have Project note that the Friday after Thanksgiving as a standing holiday too?

Answer: Regarding the standard list of US holidays, here you go, courtesy of Wikipedia:

New Year's Day                                 January 1
