Julian calendar? No that's silly. New calendar, 13 months, each is 28 days. You get one intercalary day for New Year's, and a bonus one following our existing leap year schedule

The symmetry calendars are better. They don't break the 7 day week cycle, they instead have a 52 week common year, a 53 week leap year, and a complex leap year formula

I would expect the leap week to be part of the end of year holiday
