Understanding Holiday Types
Holidays in the U.S. can vary significantly in their observance:
- Federal Holidays: Federal government offices are closed nationwide, with most banks and post offices closed. Many businesses and schools are also closed during this time.
- State Holidays: Holidays observed by certain states, meaning that government offices and schools for that state may be closed. However, they are not observed nationwide.
- Local Observances: Holidays or observances observed only in a specific city, county, or region.
- Observances: Widely recognized days of celebration, but generally not days off from work or school. These are often cultural or awareness days.
- Religious/Cultural Holidays: Holidays associated with specific religious or cultural traditions. Businesses may or may not be closed, and individuals observe them based on personal preference.
