Christmas in America

Christmas is an important festival for Christians to commemorate the birth of Jesus.

Christmas is a national holiday, 1.5 days, 65438 in the afternoon of February 24th+65438+ all day on February 25th. Because Christmas and New Year's Day holidays are adjacent, these two holidays are usually put together in the United States.

This means that if you work or study in the United States, you can enjoy a short rest, get together with family and friends, or travel and explore around Christmas. Of course, there may be some subtle differences between different States and cities. For example, some places may count 65438+February 26th as a holiday, and some places may take a holiday in advance or postpone going to work.
