Here’s how it works month by month.
January
In January, New Year’s Day falls on a Wednesday.
)Martin Luther King Jr. Day is also in January, on Monday, Jan. 20.
So, go ahead and take Jan. 21 (Tuesday) off for a four-day weekend.
Take off the Friday before (Feb. 14) for a four-day break.
Take off the following day, June 20, for a full four-day break.
Put in a request for Sept. 2 (Tuesday) for an extra-long weekend.
October
And in October, look to Indigenous People’s Day for an extended break.
December
Then, the December holidays roll around, with Christmas on a Thursday in 2025.
If you don’t have Friday, Dec. 26, off yet, put in for it now.
Or, if you do, ask for Dec. 24 or Dec. 29 off for another five-day break.
