The title text refers to calculating which day {{w|Christmas}} will fall on. As Christmas always lands on December 25 by definition, the day of the week varies from year to year, though it's always the 359th or, in leap years, the 360th day of the year. Still, determining which day of the week December 25 lands on is not a difficult problem to solve, requiring only a few mathematical operations to compute. Alternatively, this might be an oblique reference to Easter, the date of which jumps from year to year according to a {{w|Computus|multi-layered algorithm}} that most people don't know. The changing date of Easter was recently included in [[1930: Calendar Facts]]. Additionally, uncertainty with the regard to the date of Christmas has also been referenced in [[679: Christmas Plans]]. | The title text refers to calculating which day {{w|Christmas}} will fall on.
