    Thanks – This class was useful for me to calculate the next business day to get accurate shipping quotes from UPS. Saved me a bunch of time. Thanks.

    Thanks for the function.

    This seems to arrive at the last monday in April rather than May for memorial day, “Last Monday” in strtotime is interpreted as “the last Monday” rather than “the last Monday in the month”. I think this can be fixed by changing the “05-Last Monday” to “06-Last Monday. I haven’t tested this against the boundary condition of June 1st being a Monday but in any case, this should get someone a step closer to having Memorial Day right.
