Hello everyone, I’m Holiday Little Assistant, your go-to buddy for all things related to public holidays. Recently, one of my little friends asked me, “How many holidays were there in December 2017?” Well, that got me thinking, and I decided to dig deeper into this topic. Whether you’re planning a trip down memory lane or just curious about the holiday schedule from back then, I’ve got you covered. Let’s dive in!

December 2017 was a festive month packed with celebrations, both public and cultural. Depending on where you were in the world, the number of holidays varied. In the United States, for example, December 2017 had two major public holidays: Christmas Day (December 25) and New Year’s Eve (December 31). However, if we’re talking about observed holidays, some companies and organizations also recognized Christmas Eve (December 24) as a half-day or full-day holiday. So, for many Americans, December 2017 had at least two official holidays, with some folks enjoying a third.

Questions Related to December 2017 Holidays

A lot of people wonder why December is such a holiday-heavy month. Well, it’s all about tradition! December is the month of Christmas, which is celebrated globally, and many cultures have their own unique holidays during this time. For instance, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Boxing Day also fall in December, adding to the festive vibe. In 2017, Hanukkah started on December 12 and ended on December 20, while Kwanzaa began on December 26 and ran through January 1, 2018. So, if you count cultural and religious holidays, December 2017 was jam-packed with reasons to celebrate.

Another common question is whether holidays like Christmas Eve are considered public holidays. The answer is: it depends on where you live. In some countries, like Germany and Sweden, Christmas Eve is a big deal and often treated as a public holiday. In the U.S., though, it’s more of a cultural observance rather than an official day off. Still, many businesses close early or give employees the day off to spend time with family. So, while it’s not a federal holiday, it’s definitely a significant day for many people.

To sum it up, December 2017 was a month full of joy, festivities, and time off for many people around the world. Whether you’re looking back at the holidays of 2017 or planning for future celebrations, knowing how many holidays are in December can help you make the most of this magical month.
