Quick note regarding holidays listed above: the term (observed) means the day the holiday is celebrated. Usually the banks are closed, most government offices are closed, no mail delivery, stock market is closed, etc. ... observed might not be the traditional or "real" date.

Be Aware if a federal legal holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday ...
Most Federal, State, City, Postal and Bank employees take an extra day off work if a holiday falls on a saturday or sunday. When the holiday falls on sunday, they don't work on the following monday. When the holiday falls on saturday, they don't work on the preceding friday. Usually on those days the banks are closed, many government offices are closed, no mail delivery, etc.
