There is a well known aide-memoire which states that christmas day and new years day fall on the same day of the week. However in 2000 christmas day was on a Monday and New years day was on a Saturday. Why didn't the rule work?

The first day of 2000 was a Saturday. The rule works between 2000 and 2001. New year's of 2001 was indeed a Monday.
