December holidays 2024: Vacations and other important dates
Briefly

December is not just about Christmas and New Year's; it encompasses a variety of winter traditions, including Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, celebrated by different communities.
In the U.S., school calendars for winter breaks are not federally mandated; they vary by state, usually aligning with major federal holidays like Christmas and New Year's.
Christmas and New Year's are federal holidays where federal employees receive paid time off, and those working are compensated with a holiday premium.
Vacations around December are a common practice, as many schools and offices close, creating a festive period perfect for travel and seasonal celebrations.
