Can we really do this with old calenders?

In fact, 2013 is a little unusual in that it is one of six years in the last century (and up to next year when Easter Sunday falls on 31 March AND the year is not a leap year, so the (Christian) calendars for the following years are identical: 1907, 1918, 1929, 1991, 2002, 2013 (The list you gave misses out 1907!) If you ignore Easter, then the calendars for the following years are the same as the calendar for 2013 (with the ones where Easter coincides also in bold): 1901, 1907, 1918, 1929, 1935, 1946, 1957, 1963, 1974, 1985, 1991, 2002 (The list you gave missed out 1901 and 1907)

Ah, so then it is going by leap years and all that. Interesting, something you learn and never knew about before. I don't use Excel but never tried so I wouldn't have any info for it via that program. Thanks for the headsup about the Easter holidays too not working with it, I find it all alittle fascinating.

Hello owlwings, as soon as I read the discussion I realised the conflict that would occur with Easter, but I had not thought of looking for a calendar that matched up with Easter as well. After reading your response I decided to find a matching date in the future for the current calendar (2012). I tried the whole century ahead and finally gave up. New Year's Day was a Sunday in 2012, which will recur as early as 2017, along with many other years. Easter Sunday was on April 8th this year, but amazingly it will not land on April 8th again until 2091, which still does not match because the year starts on a Monday. I suppose that we may as well throw our 2012 calendars out, unless we are expecting an incredibly long life.

I intended to state that Easter Sunday fell on April 14th in 1963.javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$cphMainContent$lbStart','')

You could always ignore the Easter problem because you would be aware of it. Nevertheless, as one other member quotes in their response people do have a habit of writing on a calendar, which rather destroys it for further use. I am surprised that calendars still sell so well because computers are so popular now that I would expect most people to use a calendar on their computer.

Yes Easter has been said that it won't be on the same days as those years so I don't know what worth this really has in it's entirety. I wouldn't bother using an old calender again anyways unless I absolutely had to.

I don't either, for some reason to keep clutter down mostly I have thrown them all out. I never thought we cold reuse them in the future anyways. I would just as well get another calendar for the coming year and usually just do that.

I never thought of that til it was brought to my attention, as some things just aren't that obvious unless reminded about it.

I haven't looked into it at all til I read about it the other day. It is kindof interesting but who keeps calendars around for that long unless we are a huge hoarder.

I haven't either and I'm sure we're not alone. Who'd have thunk it that we would have to save them and why would we even bother. It is just the offbeat kind of info that we don't actually use, but kind of interesting too.
