Federal workers are getting a Christmas gift from President Trump.
The president took executive action Thursday to ensure that federal workers get Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas off from work.
Trump had previously given federal workers the day off on Christmas Eve, but his action Thursday goes a step further and adds Dec. 26 to the list. The move is historically unusual for a president.
The overture comes after federal workers had a rough couple of weeks during the record-breaking 43-day government shutdown that ended last month.
