How holidays work in Big Year

  1. Open the SETTINGS tab in your copy of Big Year.
  2. Add holiday dates (one per row or your preferred format).
  3. Those dates highlight on every calendar layout automatically.
  4. Edit anytime: new holiday, moved date, or school-specific break.

No separate holidays tab to maintain. One SETTINGS list powers the whole sheet.
