Trump Declares 2 New Federal Holidays

President Trump has declared December 24 and December 26 as new federal holidays for this year.

This means that most federal workers will get those days off with pay.

However, some essential workers like those in national security or law enforcement might still have to work and will get extra pay.

Private companies and state or local governments can choose if they want to give their workers these days off.

The stock markets will stay open on December 26.

These holidays are only for this year and won't be permanent unless Congress makes a law.
