I think that I will just simply change the wording to avoid the word stat and called them holiday closures...that way nobody can complain that they are not stats! From what you guys have shown me, mine is even less open to interpretation as I actually list all of the dates for each holiday for the entire year (I renew contracts yearly and make a new list). I think it is jus the word "stat" that is causing the problem even though I had in brackets that some of them are non-stats.
