Please Note: A Federal Holiday means that banks, government offices, schools and typically the Stock Exchange are all closed. Mail delivery is usually suspended on these days as well. Also, if a Federal holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the entities mentioned above may take the preceding/proceeding day off. (I.E. If the holiday falls on a Saturday; offices may be closed on Friday. If the holiday falls on a Sunday; offices may be closed on Monday.) The term “observed” refers to the day a holiday is celebrated; rather than the true date of the event.
