Christmas Day is the fixed December 25 federal holiday in §6103 and commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. OPM applies the statutory in-lieu rule when the date falls on a weekend.
The federal calendar follows OPM for employees on a standard Monday-to-Friday schedule. Saturday holidays generally have a Friday observed date and Sunday holidays a Monday observed date. The original occasion and its observed closure are separate entries. New Year's Day 2028 is observed on 31 December 2027; the closure is therefore shown in the 2027 calendar. Juneteenth and Washington's Birthday use their federal identities. State holidays, school breaks and private-employer closures are not implied.
Christian worship, family gatherings, gifts and seasonal traditions mark Christmas, with practices varying widely across the United States.
Check the actual date, region and confirmation status shown here before arranging travel or leave. Local-only occurrences are not a nationwide closure.
