Let's go with 12 28 day months and the overhead days are universal vacation days during summer. There you go.

well yes, the clear answer is to have "days outside the calendar". this is how the hobbits do it too :)

What about summer not being at the same time everywhere? Which hemisphere do you wanna favor? What kind of problems do vacation days in summer create in agriculture?

Essential work will always need doing on holidays. Anyone doing essential work gets their free days at other times before of after these holidays.

Good point about hemispheres though. Put half of the days in between December and January and half in between June and July. Since it's an odd number of days (unless it's a leap year), alternate which of these gets one more every year.
