Federal Employees have dealt with pay freezes and furloughs over the past several years. Giving federal employees an extra holiday on Dec. 26th, 2014 would be a great gesture to improve morale of the federal workforce. Some bases are forcing their employees to take leave or LWOP because of base shut-downs on this day. This is also consistent with past practice. President Obama provided a full-day Monday Dec. 24, 2012 and a half-day off on Thursday, Dec. 24, 2009. President George W. Bush provided a half-day holiday on Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2002, as well as several full days off the day before or after Christmas. We urge President Obama to issue an executive order.
