Weekly Challenge Image 300.pngHave you ever wondered if all the countries in the world celebrate the New Year? In many countries, New Year's Eve is celebrated at evening parties, where many people dance, eat, drink, and watch or light fireworks. Some countries celebrate New Year on a different day/month, and some don't celebrate the holiday. 
 
The following dataset provides information about holidays around the world. 
 
Based on the information provided:
- Which countries have 2 days of holiday for New Year?
- What are the countries that don't have New Year's Day as a Holiday?
