The United States does not have national holidays. The federal government recognizes national holidays that pertain to its own employees. The annual federal holidays are widely observed by state and local governments. Most official holidays are observed on the Monday closest to the actual date of the holiday, except for New Year's Day, Independence Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. There are also U.S. state holidays particular to individual U.S. states.
Most American holidays recognize events or people from U.S. history, although two are shared in common with many other countries: Christmas Day and New Year's Day. The holiday season, commonly said to run between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, which encompasses the Winter solstice: Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. Summer is traditionally considered to run from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
