官方统计：11个联邦假日

Drumroll please… America currently recognizes 11个联邦假日! These are the big ones where non-essential government offices close, banks take the day off, and many employees get paid time off. Here’s the full lineup:
1.元旦（1月1日）
2. 马丁·路德·金纪念日（一月的第三个星期一）
3.总统日（二月的第三个星期一）
4.阵亡将士纪念日（五月的最后一个星期一）
5. Juneteenth National Independence Day (June 19)
6.独立日（7月4日）
7.劳动节（9月第一个星期一）
8. 哥伦布日/原住民日（10月的第二个星期一）
9.退伍军人节（11月11日）
10.感恩节（11月的第四个星期四）
11.圣诞节（12月25日）

Fun fact: Juneteenth is the newest addition, signed into law by President Biden in 2021! Before that, we technically had 10 federal holidays for decades.

But Wait… There’s More to the Story!

事情开始变得有趣了：
• State holidays vary: Some states observe extra days like Confederate Memorial Day or Texas Independence Day.
• “Bank holidays” aren’t federal: Things like Good Friday or Election Day are observed by some sectors but aren’t official federal holidays.
• Private companies decide: While federal workers get these 11 days off, your employer might offer different holidays.

Common Questions About US Holidays

问：为什么选举日不是联邦假日？
A: Great question! Some states make it a holiday, but nationally it’s still a work day – though many employers now give time off to vote.

Q: Do all Americans get these days off?
A: Nope! About 30% of workers don’t get federal holidays off, especially in retail and healthcare.

Q: What’s the least celebrated federal holiday?
A: Probably Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples’ Day – many states have dropped it, and most businesses stay open.

假期规划的专业建议

Mark your calendars for those “Monday holidays” (MLK Day, Presidents’ Day, etc.) – they create awesome 3-day weekend opportunities! And remember, if a holiday falls on Saturday, Friday often becomes the day off; if on Sunday, Monday’s usually the substitute.

There you have it, folks! America’s 11 federal holidays plus the inside scoop on how they really work. Whether you’re planning travel, calculating pay periods, or just impressing friends with fun facts, understanding these dates is super useful.
