- boolean isObserved - Used to indicate if the user is referring to the date the holiday is observed (true), or the official date (false).
- String type - An optional parameter through which the user can select which type of Holiday should be returned. If it’s omitted, all Holiday types are returned. TODO: determine if it would be worth anything to make this parameter a list so the user could select multiple types at once. Don’t do this unless we have someone who would definitely use it.
