   //~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ not-a-function checkForHoliday()
   //Function: not-a-function checkForHoliday()
   // Purpose: Checks to see if today is one of a list of US holidays (and a few other important dates).
   //          If found, boolHoliday is set to true and strHoliday gets some text to be displayed.
   //          I use this here in the "BackToTop" bar, which if called will appear under today's date.
   //   Usage: checkForHoliday();
   //   Notes: Holidays checked... New Year's Day, MLK Day, Valentine's Day, Presidents' Day, 
   //                              Easter, Memorial Day, D-Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, 
   //                              Columbus Day, Halloween, Election Day, Thanksgiving, 
   //                              Pearl Harbor Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year's Eve
   //          Easter is the only really complex one here (waaay over my head).
   //          I lifted the code from "www.irt.org/articles/js052/index.htm".
   //          The "nth weekday" ones were made overly complicated on many web dev sites, so I wrote my own.
   //          I'll pat myself on the back for having come up with these semi-brilliant conditionals.
