No, January the 2nd is not a declared holiday. There will be some not working in Washington D.C. on that day because of an official funeral, but it is not a holiday.

Yes it is because he died. Like most government officials that now have the day off, and are probably ecstatic about it, some of us need to pick up the slack. I am tired and have a life, but now I must work and not think about the day of mourning for us Americans, I must work. After all isn't it "us" that keep this country of ours running!, or the "US". Sorry I am tired and my family misses me and I think I am going to cry on the first day of 2007. I CAN CRY IF I WANT TO RIGHT?? NO MATTER THE GENDER!!!

It's not a "holiday" it is a national day of mourning. Federal government will be closed, all other businesses at there own discretion, which means they won't close most likely.

It is a "national day of mourning" and the federal government is shut down. Businesses don't have to let you off. My son has to go to school.
