Holiday cheer: Gov. DeSantis gifts Florida workers 3 extra days off

Keeping up with tradition, Gov. Ron DeSantis is again going into “DeSanta Claus” mode and gifting government workers extra paid days off.

State employees can spend more time celebrating before and after Christmas and on New Year’s Eve.

That’s in addition to regular office closures during the holidays.

The days off include:

• Dec. 23, two days before Christmas.

• Dec. 24, Christmas Eve.

• Dec. 25, Christmas Day and the first day of Hanukkah.

• Dec. 31, New Year’s Eve.

• Jan. 1, New Year’s Day.

“Florida is in great shape, and we want to reward our state employees,” DeSantis said in a statement.
