Calendar

Does she have outlook or such program on the syncing computer? If so, add the holidays to your outlook, then hook your iPad up to the computer and enable it to sync the calendar to your iPad.

alternatively, you can download the holidays onto your computer calendar and then see if you can e-mail that calendar event to yourself, saving it to the iPad.

Visit the URL on the computer that is used to sync the iPad, and click on the Download link. iCal should popup and ask you if you want to subscribe to the calendar.

After you subscribe to the calendar, connect the iPad to sync. In the Info section of the iPad there'll be an option to sync Calendars, or it will optionally sync through iCloud (if you've got iCloud set up).

I've done it on my mac, and everything pushed to all my other devices. If you're using a pc, I'm not sure.

I found this, but I'm going to keep looking.
