A common year is 365 days, one day more than 52 weeks. So December 28 moves on one weekday each year: Monday in 2026, Tuesday in 2027. The jump is two days when February 29 comes in between, so December 28, 2028 is a Thursday, two on from 2027's Tuesday. Between 1901 and 2099, the whole pattern repeats every 28 years.
