Usage:
-Unzip.
-Copy both files to PPC.
-Run PPCPIMBackup and choose restore.
-Locate US Holidays.pib.
-Restore using prompts.

PIMBackup has options where you can choose to overwrite or not. So make sure you double check settings before you restore.

I noticed that the holidays are repeated so this is only good for this year. Is there a way to get a file so it's repeated each year?

Outlook 2007 only gives holidays up to 2012, and I just checked and 2011's are intact. :-p

Maybe Outlook 2010 will have more!

found another way...

if you use Google caledar to sync with phone
you can add US holiday calendar (or any other country holiday calendar) to your google calendar and sync back to phone.

If you sync your phone to Outlook (or both to Exchange), you can do basically the same thing without messing with PIMBackup. In Outlook 2007, just go to tools > options > calendar options > add holidays and pick the holidays you want to add. These will then get added to your calendar which will be added to your phone the next time you sync. Easy as pie!

Would you guys like an export that also includes moon phases as well as a few holidays that Microsoft didn't include in Outlook 2007?
