Today, I found a text online about the 2009 Federal Holidays. I thought it was interesting to read about which holidays federal employees get to take off work. The federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103) states which holidays an employee can take off from work. If the holiday falls on a weekend, then the holiday is then observed on the following Monday. I always thought that if a holiday was on the weekend, then a worker wouldn't get time off. The federal holidays this year are: New Years Day, MLK Jr. Day, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Another thing I found interesting was that they reffered to what we call president's day as 'Washington's Birthday', because it is the policy to refer to the holidays by the names designated by the law.
