There is no requirement for presidents to excuse federal employees from work the day before Christmas, though the workforce has often received at least a half-day off when Christmas Day falls on a Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though most feds will be able to take advantage of the extra day off, some employees may still be called in to the office if their work is central to \u201cnational security, defense or other public need.\u201d Which employees fall under that scope has been left up to the heads of departments and
