There's no more official ones in the UK until 25th December.
I'm curious to know how many other countries might already have bank/public holidays coming up?

Dear Maya,
when people say BANK HOLIDAY
they mean THE BANKS CLOSE THEIR DOORS ON M0NDAY, possibly for a VERY long time,
and you possibly lost your money
just like Argentina, Iceland, etc.
IT IS NOT A STANDART HOLIDAY.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear."
