Why didn't Christmas Day fall on Friday in any year from 1970 to 1981 - what other days were skipped over in this period?

Normally, any date falls on the next day of the week during the next year, but when there is a leap year day in the coming year, the next occurrence of the current date will fall on the second weekday after the current weekday. That is because when you divide a regular year by a week, you are left with a remainder of one day, and when you divide a leap year by a week, you are left with a remainder of two days. For example, the 4th of July falls on a Saturday in 2015. Since there was no leap year day between July 2014 and July 2015, the 4th of July fell on a Friday in 2014, and since there is a leap year day between July 2015 and July 2016, the 4th of July falls on a Monday in 2016.Christmas 1970 was a Friday. 1971 was a regular year, so Christmas 1971 was a Saturday. 1972 was a leap year, so Christmas 1972 was a Monday, and Sunday was skipped. 1973, 1974 & 1975 were regular years, so Christmas in those years were a Tuesday, a Wednesday and a Thursday respectively. 1976 was a leap year, so Christmas 1976 was a Saturday, and Friday was skipped. Christmas fell on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in the regular years 1977 to 1979. 1980 was a leap year, so Wednesday was skipped and Christmas 1980 was a Thursday.

Is there a recurring pattern regarding how often Christmas Day falls on Sunday?

Christmas is always on the 25th of December so the day of the week changes every year. Christmas 2011 was on a Sunday so logically it should be on a Sunday in 2018 but because of leap years the next time Christmas will fall on a Sunday will be 2016. The pattern does eventually repeat but not for many years.
