Have you ever wondered if there was an easy way to show all of your country's holidays in your Microsoft Outlook calendar? I have often wondered if this was possible and I just recently found out how to do it. Having the holidays in your calendar makes scheduling easier and helps you remember important holidays so you can remember to get gifts, etc. The steps are very simple and when you are done you will have all the holidays for your country in your Outlook Calendar. One important thing to note is that once you add the holidays to your calendar they will have to be removed one at a time so don't add holidays you don't need to see. Here are the steps:

  • Open up Microsoft Outlook.
  • Go to the 'Tools' menu and then to 'Options'.
  • Make sure you are looking at the 'Preferences' tab in the options dialog window.
  • In the 'Calendar' section click on the 'Calendar Options' button.
  • You will now be shown a new dialog window, click on the 'Add Holidays' button.
  • Choose your country or multiple countries if you desire and click 'OK'.
  • The holidays for the selected country/countries will now be in your Outlook Calendar.

Now you will have no excuse for missing Mother's Day, Father's Day or any other holiday because they will all be right there in your Outlook calendar.
