This is NOT a good reason. The government closes for ALL holidays which end with the letter "y". The government does not have a problem with finding a reason to close. For the record, the government NEVER closes completely. There are several portions which are ALWAYS open. Police, Fire, air traffic control are some examples. There are COUNTLESS other occupations which are required to work on holidays.

As to whether or not Verizon closes, that is a company decision and I feel it is their right to make that decision.

Regardless, have a Merry Christmas.
