WASHINGTON, December 20, 2013 — Federal employees are wondering whether the President will close the government on Christmas Eve. The order to close the government for Christmas Eve 2012 came on December 21, 2012.
According to Government Executive, “Obama gave federal employees a half day on Christmas Eve in 2009, when it fell on a Thursday and Christmas on a Friday. He did not order any extra holiday time in 2010 or 2011.”
**SNIP**
As of the publication of this article, the White House has not given any indication about Christmas Eve closures.

Uh, Hussein is on vacation, yo. All hands on that defunct website?
I just figured they all were vacationing in Hawaii...
With all those days they got off for Ramadan, this sounds pretty greedy.
Shouldn’t they be on station, working on my behalf, as my government tells me it is, 24/7? There’s no excuse for a letdown in government vigilance. /S
Q: How does a government employee wink?
A: He opens one eye.
Does anyone outside of the federal government really care about this?
When I worked, the office almost always was open on Christmas Eve. Perhaps the office would close early, but 99% of the time, I usually worked till well after the office closed. I sucked it up. I’m sure these lazy louts could do the same.
Obama told me to pass this along to all you Federal employees: “Merry Christmas! Good luck on any future endeavors. I won’t be back. Please lock up and return all property of the US Government.” I’m signing this with an auto-pen so you know it really came from Obama.
They just got a bunch of days off WITH PAY thanks to the democrats who closed down the government.
How long ago did they return from their paid vacations, aka, government shutdown?
Now THAT would make the bestest Christmas present of all!
Close the Federal Government? How ever will we survive?!
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeez....No one showed up at work today...and they’ll all get paid.
And another thing, people working for a living is the last thing on Obama’s mind.
The Federal employees are now petitioning for a government shutdown? What kind of flippin’ country is this? The lunatics are running the asylum!
If the government was serious about separation of church and state Congress would be in session on Christmas.
Don’t they still need time to finish all that vital work they couldn’t because of the shutdown? /sarc
Might as well let them go home and at least save the light bill. They don’t do S—t when they are there anyway and what they do just makes us more miserable.
Certainly these are not the whiners who complained about the government shutdown()for which they got backpay). I thought they wanted to work.
FUNNY
