Doubles caused by iCloud

After merging different devices with iCloud you might end up with multiple calendars with the same name and what looks like double entries. Please check in the built-in calendar and on the iCloud website how many calendars you really have. You can find more info on iCloud: www.icloud.com

After you got the iCloud administration right, syncing your devices with iCloud can take some time, so it might take a while before the holidays show up or disappear.
