To ensure that these holidays are followed, some guidelines have been implemented with federal holidays celebrated by federal employees last Friday, while holidays that fall on Sundays are celebrated next Monday.
In these 11 days, all non-essential federal offices remain closed, while banks, post offices and schools may also be closed.
However, this does not mean that all Americans will get a day off from work, as private sector employees may or may not get leave depending on their employer.
