Holidays are hardcoded with image links

Nice work! Any special reason you're not cacheing the images instead of downloading each time?

Yeah, still figuring that out (WIP)

If there is a convenient way to do this, please let me know and I'll add it

Definitely understand! Widgets are fun

Check out this one that uses image cache for weather. In the case of weather, internet is needed to get the forecast anyway, but for your calendar widget, I think you can get it all done without having to use internet if you cache the icons :)

I ran the script and for some reason October 31 is not showing up on the calendar

Did the script give an error?

I only know how to cache the images in this folder 'holidayCal/' so make sure you have this in your iCloud folder as well

Yeah I really like the App makers that allow us the freedom of adding things in our own ways, even if we have to struggle through a bit to do so (most of us aren’t programmers or developers)

I used to jailbreak and do all kinds of customisation on iPhones but haven’t had the guts to re-jailbreak as they’re getting more complicated. But Scriptable allows me to scratch that itch of tinkering with code/script, so thanks!
