December 31 2009 will be a non-working day, the Cabinet has decided.

In exchange, December 19 2009 will be a working day, Bulgarian daily Dnevnik said.

This year, December 31 falls on a Thursday. Since only January 1 is an official holiday, this meant December 31 would have been a normal working day.

By making December 31 a non-working day, a four-day holiday was created, until the first working day of the New Year, on Monday January 4.
