Why does Christmas sometimes go for over a decade without falling on a certain weekday - it last fell on Saturday in 2010 and remains absent until the year 2021 when it 'returns' from absence?

Why does Christmas sometimes skip falling on certain weekdays?
That can happen with any date and is due to a leap year causing a day to be skipped. The longest gap is 11 years. For example, Christmas Day was a Saturday in 2010. It will be a Friday in 2015, but because 2016 is a leap year, it will skip over Saturday and be on a Sunday in 2016. Saturday will come round again in 2021, which is the next time Christmas Day will be on a Saturday.

What happens when Christmas Day falls on the day it has not fallen on in 11 years - such as the case in 2017 2021 2025 and 2029?
Most of the time, when a certain date falls on a certain weekday, in the following year it falls on the following weekday. But when the period between the date and the same date a year later includes the leap year date February 29, the next occurance of the date falls instead on the second weekday after the previous occurance. In 2006, Christmas fell on Monday. In 2007, Christmas fell on Tuesday. Because 2008 was a leap year, Christmas "skipped" Wednesday. In 2008, Christmas fell on Thursday. In 2009, Christmas fell on Friday. In 2010, Christmas fell on Saturday. In 2011, Christmas fell on Sunday. Because 2012 was a leap year, Christmas "skipped" Monday. In 2012, Christmas fell on Tuesday. In 2013, Christmas fell on Wednesday. In 2014, Christmas will fall on Thursday. In 2015, Christmas will fall on Friday. Because 2016 is a leap year, Christmas will "skip" Saturday. In 2016, Christmas will fall on Sunday. In 2017, Christmas will fall on Monday.
