Ratification by states (that is, by state legislatures) is ONLY used for the passing of ammendments to the U.S. Constitution.
Federal holidays are not set by this means, but by simple legislation in the U.S. Congress. State legislatures have nothing to do with that process.

For information on the federal holidays and how each came to be, see:
