There is a rule - if the National holiday comes on Saturday or Sunday, Monday is an additional day off for that holiday. So, the number of days off is the same each year.

Usually, exchange greetings in Ukraine are sent for all public holidays; professional holidays associated with a person's job; church holidays, if you are sure that the person celebrates them. Greetings with professional day make you stand out on the positive side, and this is an excellent reason to remind partners about yourself or to cheer up your relatives or friends. 

While we are planning to greet someone with big holidays like Christmas, New Year, Easter, May holidays, it is worth considering that a person may visit his/her family or go on vacation and send congratulations in advance.

You can also congratulate your Slavic woman or girlfriend, her child or family with a small gift, such as flowers, a fruit basket or sweets. Such a sign of attention is always pleasant and will not go unnoticed.
