President Trump took to Truth Social Wednesday to wish Americans a "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!"

Trump will be spending the holiday at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Last week, Trump took executive action to ensure 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 for the 2025 calendar year.

Previous presidents have given full or half days on Christmas Eve. Trump did so in 2019 and 2020. But adding Dec. 26 off as well is unique for this year.
