Providing for the Closure of Executive Departments and Agencies of the Federal Government on December 24, 2025, and December 26, 2025

President Donald Trump issued an order to close all executive departments and agencies of the federal government on December 24 and December 26, 2025, granting federal employees time off around Christmas. However, the heads of these departments and agencies can require certain offices to remain open and employees to report for duty if necessary for national security, defense, or other public needs. The order ensures that these days off are treated in accordance with existing laws regarding federal employee pay and leave. The Director of the Office of Personnel Management is tasked with implementing the order, which is to be executed within the bounds of applicable laws and budgetary constraints.
