When is Christmas?
Christmas Day is always December 25, so the useful question is which day of the week it lands on. In 2026 it falls on a Friday, which makes a natural three day weekend; in 2027 it falls on a Saturday, so most United States federal workers observe the holiday on Friday, December 24. Christmas Eve itself is not a federal holiday, but many offices close early or take the whole day.
