Slipping Out of a Sandwich

Two holidays extraordinary
    bookend a day - simple, ordinary
  How is that unfortunate day viewed
    sandwiched between the other two

  Well, strange as it may seem
    and believe me, this is no dream
  That simple day, upon further reflection
    has the advantage of science-based refraction

  Picture each holiday as a separate painting
    each one glorious, majestic, self-sustaining 
  Then give a two-sided mirror to our 'Day Ordinaire'
    Voila! ~ Now, which of the three days is 'Extraordinaire'
