Import holidays

To import holidays from a JSON file, perform the following steps:

1. Create a JSON file that contains the holidays that you want to import in the following format:

        <holiday Name="First of January" DateTime="01.01.2017 00:00"/>
        <holiday Name="August 15th" DateTime="15.08.2017 00:00"/>
        <holiday Name="New Year's Eve" DateTime="31.12.2017 12:00"/>
