It's still December, but many people are already looking at the 2022 calendar and planning around the national holidays next year.

2022 is not a leap year. Of the 365 days, 248 are working days, and 16 are public holidays. These holidays, which coincide with a day off, are offset by a day off in the first days of the following working week.

Next year we will work 248 days or 1 less than this year. The busiest month is August with 23 working days. At the other pole are April, May, and December with only 19.
