Victor used to take Apple's various holiday calendars and convert them
to a pkg that one could download, but that option's sort of out now
that he's no longer Newtoning.

You could download the calendars from Apple in iCal format (.ical or
.ics) and import them using Eckhart Köppen's IC/VC
<http://40hz.org/wiki/index.php/IC/VC>. You can find downloadable
calendars on Apple's downloads site:
<http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/>.

You should also be able to subscribe to them too, try the following
for various holiday calendars:

Google for "site:mac.com ical holidays"

or

<http://icalshare.com/index.php?topic=holidays>

Not sure if there are any better, non-IC/VC methods. Anybody?
