Quarters would be weird for businesses so it would never catch on.

We could all unionize and just take the first month off, set it in the deepest part of winter, January or so, and just set Christmas to be during that month. Although people might not be thrilled to move Christmas to after New Year's.

Christmas is already after New Year's in the current calendar year ;)

It's not really that hard to have a quarter be 3 months + 1 week tbh.

I bow to your lobes in all business matters.
