The dates have upset a number of people who complained online that they had assumed the holiday would run from Sunday, December 30 to January 1, as was widely believed based on common arrangements for holidays in previous years, and they would have to abruptly change their travel plans.
这一日期令许多人沮丧，他们在网上抱怨说他们曾认为假期将从周日开始，12月30日至1月1日，正如普遍相信的基于前几年假日常规安排，他们将不得不突然改变他们的旅行计划。
