President Trump on Friday signed an order giving federal workers a paid day off work on Christmas Eve.
President Trump has signed an order giving federal workers a paid day off for Christmas Eve. This came as a delightful surprise to many Americans.
According to the New York Post, Trump’s order says, "All executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government shall be closed and their employees excused from duty on Thursday, December 24, 2020, the day before Christmas Day."
President Trump has been a vocal proponent for the holiday, opposing the Democrats "war on Christmas."
At a rally in Georgia President Trump said, "Let me begin by wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. Remember the word?"
"Remember? We started five years ago, and I said, 'You’re gonna be saying 'Christmas’ again.' We say it proudly again. Although they’ll be trying to take that word again out of the vocabulary," he continued.
It remains to be seen whether this order will be reversed by the incoming Biden administration.
