Yearly calendar of North American retail events (Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Boxing Day, Amazon Prime Day, back-to-school Labour Day anchor, US and Canadian Thanksgiving), 2015 to the present, for US and Canada. Each event row carries ML-ready countdown features: days to Christmas, days remaining in the year, and a holiday-season (Nov/Dec) flag. Holiday rules: US Thanksgiving = 4th Thursday of November (federal since 1941); Canadian Thanksgiving = 2nd Monday of October (1957 proclamation); Boxing Day = Dec 26; Prime Day dates curated from Amazon's announcements (multi-day spans recorded as event_date..event_end_date). No future-year rows: Prime Day dates are announced annually and added on the yearly refresh.
