Christmas and other occasions

[GalaxyCoyote]

I am trying to make a program that can tell people the date and time (I have done this bit) but I want to add to the program, I want a way to detect the date and then display a little message depending on the date.

e.g.

#if date == 25/12
#print("Merry christmas!")

and

#if date == 1/1
#print("Happy new year!")

etc.
etc.

import datetime

today = datetime.date.today()

if (today.day, today.month) == (15, 7):
    print('today is 15th day and 7th month')
else:
    print('you have run this code on a different day')

Output:
today is 15th day and 7th month

Output:

Ok then thanks!

Holidays are complicated. I'd recommend just using a list someone else made, such as this one: https://github.com/dr-prodigy/python-holidays
