It isn't actually a holiday. However some areas provide two days off to government employees at Xmas and then again for January 1. Maybe other people are joining the band wagon for the day off.
Where I live in the UK, all the stores are closed, the main branches of the banks are open, but not the local branches. The post office is closed as well.

There is a Federal Holiday in honor of President Ford. This has been all over the news and media.
P.S. Why would a mailman "run" with the mail?

It's not a holiday today, it's more like a "mourning" day for the 38th president, Gerald Ford.
