The weekends before Christmas
A weekend here is a Saturday plus the Sunday after it, so the first one to count is October 24 and 25.
The last weekend before Christmas is December 19 and 20. Christmas falls on a Friday this year. It is a federal holiday, so December 25 to 27 is a three-day weekend for federal workers and most banks.
Retailers call December 19, the last Saturday before Christmas, Super Saturday.
No US federal holiday falls on a Friday or Monday before Christmas. Thanksgiving weekend, November 26 to 29, is the one many people stretch to four days, although only the Thursday is a federal holiday.
