Holidays & events
- Official December dates we could source: Christmas Day on December 25; Boxing Day on December 26 (Aruba government holiday list and aruba.com). Some of these come from a statutory rule and the 2027 calendar rather than a printed date. US federal holidays that month (OPM): Christmas Day on December 24; those shape Omaha departures rather than anything in Aruba. No sourced December crowd data, so none claimed.
