My Boston suburb gets the 3rd week in February (Washington's B'day week) and the 3rd week in April (Patriot's Day week). Most of you are probably too young to remember but the February break started as a heating cost solution back in the early '70s when we had the first oil crisis.
The school system where we live now schedules Spring Break the week before Easter. Since there is class on Monday after Easter, it makes it very difficult to have Easter Dinner at distant relatives' homes.
