2009 Sri Lanka holidays for Microsoft Outlook

The New Year is just around the corner, and it looks like some folks just like to prepare for it in advance. So for the pleasure of those of you who like to have your Microsoft Outlook calendar ready for the next year, I’m posting the 2009 Sri Lanka holidays list a little earlier than usual.   

I made this list based on the desk calander published at http://documents.gov.lk with the exception of treating Poya days as mercantile holidays; the gov.lk calander does not show any of the poya days as holidays. Maybe thats a change for 2009?  

If you don’t know what to do with the following list, please see the 2008 Sri Lanka Holidays post for instructions.
