No, it is not a Federal Holiday. Federal government offices or closed by order of the President as a 'Day of Mourning' for President Ford. A Federal Holiday is an annual event declared by an act of congress.
joseph_ma... Federal Holidays do not have to be recognized by any business. Only Federal government office are required to observe them in any way. State governments are free to ignore them if they wish.

And if you like to celebrate holidays, I definitely suggest checking out home seasons for affordable, great quality decorations. I always buy from them. Here's their link.

Yes, January 2nd is a holiday. It's a one-time-only deal for federal employees and any other who wants to take it, in honor of President Ford.
Officially, I think that means that if you worked today, you're entitled to time and a half.

If you were old enough to be on this sight maybe you would be mature enough to watch the news and would have known that. Have some respect for your country and learn what it means to be an American. Oh, that's right, you won't get US History until you're out of grade school.
