So he declared Dec 24 and Dec 26 federal holidays

Will banks, stores, post offices be closed on Christmas Eve, Dec. 26?

While federal government offices may close their doors the days before and after Christmas this year, locations like banks, post offices and private retailers will largely remain open.

The U.S. Postal Service announced that all post offices will be closed and no mail will be delivered on Christmas Day. According to the agency's website, post offices will be open for retail services on Dec. 24 and Dec. 26, and mail will be delivered on those dates.

Has bugger all to do with whether stores choose to be open or not. Are stores closed on any other federal holiday? No, they advertise huge sales.

This is really reaching for something to be outraged at TFG.

Giving federal workers extra days off this holiday isn't something we should be all "bah, humbug" about.

Unless one really is a Scrooge and just hates to see people enjoying themselves.
