Local Gov’t Taking Religious Holidays?

It was common at one time for some government offices to close on "Good Friday" and other religious holidays. Now the official federal holidays include:

New Year's Day 
Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. 
Washington's Birthday 
Memorial Day 
Independence Day 
Labor Day 
Columbus Day 
Veterans Day 
Thanksgiving Day 
Christmas Day

It might also be advisable to watch how certain holidays are celebrated in government offices such as in the days leading up to the "Christmas" holiday. There should be allowance for some holiday at the end of December as so many religions celebrate at this time but it should not be officially termed "Christmas" by our government.

It is still questionable whether Thanksgiving Day should be recognized by the federal government. Who is the government expecting us to thank?

In small towns, you may find some information in the local newspaper about occurrences within public offices. Otherwise, you will need to work there or know someone who does.
