+# Holiday Calculator - COBOL Program
+
+## Overview
+The Holiday Calculator is an OpenCobol program that determines what day of the week holidays fall on for any given year. It supports historical calculations going back to 1806 and forward to the year 3000.
+
+## Features
+- Interactive menu-driven interface
+- Calculate day of week for major holidays
+- Historical date support (1806-3000)
+- Input validation and error handling
+- User-friendly output format
+
+## Supported Holidays
+1. **New Year's Day** - January 1st
+2. **Independence Day** - July 4th  
+3. **Halloween** - October 31st
+4. **Christmas Day** - December 25th
+
+## Program Details
+- **File**: `HOLIDAY-SIMPLE.cbl`
+- **Program ID**: `HOLIDAY-CALC`
+- **Language**: OpenCobol/GnuCOBOL
+- **Year Range**: 1806 - 3000
+- **Algorithm**: Uses COBOL intrinsic functions `INTEGER-OF-DATE` and `MOD` for precise day-of-week calculations
+
+## Compilation
+```bash
+cobc -x HOLIDAY-SIMPLE.cbl
+```
+
+## Usage
+```bash
+./HOLIDAY-SIMPLE
+```
+
+### Sample Session
+```
+=================================================
+           HOLIDAY DAY CALCULATOR
+    What day does your holiday fall on?
+=================================================
+
+1. New Years Day (January 1)
+2. Independence Day (July 4)
+3. Halloween (October 31)
+4. Christmas (December 25)
+
+Enter holiday (1-4): 4
+Enter year (1806-3000): 2025
+Christmas 2025
+falls on:
+FRIDAY
+
+Check another? (Y/N): N
+Goodbye!
+```
+
+## Example Calculations
+- **Christmas 2025**: Friday
+- **Independence Day 2025**: Saturday  
+- **New Year's Day 2000**: Sunday
+- **Christmas 1850**: Thursday (historical date)
+
+## Technical Implementation
+- Uses standard COBOL date functions for accuracy
+- Formats dates in YYYYMMDD format for calculations
+- Converts to integer date representation
+- Calculates day of week using modulo arithmetic
+- Maps numeric day (1-7) to day names (Monday-Sunday)
+
+## Testing
+The program has been tested with:
+- Current year dates (2025)
+- Historical dates (1850)
+- Future dates (2999)
+- All supported holidays
+- Input validation (invalid years, holiday numbers)
+
+## Future Enhancements
+- Additional holidays (Easter, Thanksgiving, etc.)
+- Holiday descriptions and historical context
+- Export results to file
+- Batch processing mode for multiple years
