Obama signs order keeping U.S. government offices closed December 26
WASHINGTON Fri Dec 5, 2014 7:52pm EST
President Barack Obama signed an executive order giving most federal workers that day off, meaning they will have a four-day weekend, with Christmas coming on a Thursday.
Some departments and agencies are permitted to order employees to work on Dec. 26 "for reasons of national security, defense, or other public need," according to the order, which was released by the White House.
