Each month begins on a Sunday, and ends on a Saturday; consequently, every year begins on Sunday. Neither Year Day nor leap day are considered to be part of any week; they are preceded by a Saturday and are followed by a Sunday, making a long weekend.

That sounds both nice and an absolute hassle to try and retrofit all our timekeeping stuff to deal with.
