Biden gives most federal employees day off on Christmas Eve
There is no guarantee that presidents will grant federal employees extra time off around Christmas. Christmas Day is a federal holiday, but Dec. 24 isn’t.

Federal agencies will be closed on Tuesday, Dec. 24, President Joe Biden announced, giving federal employees an extra day off the day before Christmas.

The president made the announcement via an executive order that he signed Thursday.

“All executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government shall be closed and their employees excused from duty on Tuesday, December 24, 2024, the day before Christmas Day,” the executive order states.

There is no guarantee that presidents will grant federal employees extra time off around Christmas.
