Customizing the Script
By default, the script only checks for the major U.S. holidays. If you want to include additional holidays, you can add them to the fixed_holidays or floating_holidays lists in the script.
If you want the script to check for a different range of years, you can change the arguments to the check_holiday_weekends function call at the end of the script.
