May 1st
Labor Day, International Workers' Day, and May Day, is a day off for workers in many countries around the world.
Christmas Eve, which is the day before Christmas Day, is celebrated in many countries worldwide. It is a Christian observance that falls on December 24 in the Gregorian calendar.
Is Christmas Eve a Public Holiday?
While Christmas Eve is not an official public holiday, it is traditionally a non-working day for most employees, so many businesses are closed.
Christmas trees are decorated with baubles, lights and tinsel during the Christmas season.
