Grammatical construction

Is this grammatical construction correct:



"Last week, I remembered that this would be Easter week, being a holiday on Friday and half of a holiday on Thursday."

THANK YOU.

Yes, but you need something like "meaning" instead of "being". With "being" you're saying that Easter week IS a holiday on Friday, etc. Also, I'd say "half a holiday", omitting "of".
