• Federal government offices, post offices, and banks usually close on federal holidays.
• Private businesses may operate differently when observing federal holidays.
• Holiday observance is widely followed across most states and localities.
• If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, it may shift to the nearest weekday, though festivities may continue on the official annual date.
• The period between Thanksgiving and January 1 is considered the 'holiday season,' expecting high crowds in public spaces like airports and malls.
• Most non-retail businesses are generally closed on New Year's Day (January 1).
