The Jews have High Holidays or High Days which are held annually or monthly. All or some days of these are Sabbath days and work maybe proscribed or banned. These feasts are:

Feast	Jewish Name	Frequency	No. of Days	Sabbath Days
Feast of Unleavened Bread	Pesach	Annually	7	1^st and 7^th
Festival of Tabernacles	Sukkoth	Annually	7	1^st and 7^th
Harvest Festival or Pentecost	Shavuoth	Annually	50	1^st and 50^th
New Year’s Day	Rosh Hashana	Annually	1	The day
Day of Atonement	Yom Kippur	Annually	1	The day
New Moon Festival	Rosh Hodesh	Monthly	1	1^st day of month

If the Jews could have annual or monthly feasts wherein all or some days of the feast are designated as Sabbath days, how much more could Christians designate December 31 every year and June 31 every leap year in the Aristean calendar as Sabbath days? December 31 is called Grand Sabbath, and June 31, Glorious Sabbath. These solve the problem of the extra 365^th day in common year and the 366^th day in leap year by designating them as Sabbath days. God will be pleased the extra days are held as Sabbath days in His honor.
