President Barack Obama also signed an executive order in 2014 to grant feds a holiday on the day after Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most circumstances, an additional day off is given when the holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, and the president decides to prevent employees from having to come in to work for only a single day, before going back to time off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Christmas Day fell on a Saturday in 1999, 2004 and 2010, and none of the sitting presidents at those times opted to grant feds an additional day off prior to the guaranteed Friday Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas falls on a Saturday this year, meaning feds will receive their paid holiday the day
