U.S. President Donald Trump has issued an executive order mandating the closure of federal agencies on December 24 and December 26 this year. The move comes as a gesture to extend the Christmas holiday period for federal employees.
The decision allows workers to enjoy a longer break, as Christmas Day is already a federal holiday. Traditionally, many businesses and government offices operate on a reduced schedule during this festive period.
This development marks a cheerful nod to the spirit of the season, facilitating family gatherings and celebrations for millions of civil servants across the country.
