Threads like these are started daily just for the daily trump bashing. Its really old and tired.

If you want the day off take a sick day but spare us another trump bashing thread.

Do you think that Canada is waiting for an opportune time to invade ?

Huh? No, federal workers just want to know if they will have a day off or whether they need to use leave or work that day. Usually the president closes the government on 12/26 when it’s a Friday, but federal workers have learned not to expect anything positive this year.

Didn't most Federal Workers just have 40 days of closure?

No, most Feds were working daily without knowing when the next paycheck would come.

I don’t see how this is a Trump bashing thread? Anyway, if you feel that way, just ignore it. This thread is meant to be for fed workers to speculate about something that affects them. Unlike most people I know in the private sector, our office doesn’t close between Christmas and New Year with paid leave.

The 26th is Boxing Day. That's the day the servants traditionally have off.

Don’t think that’s really true. VP is one, but I wouldn’t say he’s governing.

They’re not Catholics. They’re so-called “Christians.” Don’t blame this on us.

Six out of nine Justices are Catholic.

For heaven's sake. Grow up.

Assume you have to work the entire day, and consider it a happy gift if you don't. Just as I have for many years. If you are that desperate to go home early a couple of hours on the 26th, put in for annual leave.

OP here—I think 12/24 is less likely than 12/26 because Xmas is on a Thursday, and presidents seem to prefer to pick a day to close that will make a long weekend. But you never know, 12/24 has happened before in the middle of the week!

You must know by now, this president is nothing like previous presidents. My guess is no for 12/24 and another no for 12/26. But 12/25, yes.

Why the strong reaction and Grinchy attitude? This is just meant to be fun speculation for feds who have had a rough year. I personally leave approved on 12/26. I am at my use or lose limit, so I hope to know soon whether I should switch that leave to another day or not. At any rate I have a lot of work to get done so I might not be able to use it in another day. C’est la vie.

Besides, it’s not often that we got a whole day off from any President.

There will likely be a couple of hours of early release on the 24th. That's all that is likely. Don't get greedy. If you want the 26th off, put in for leave.
