No, this is not a holiday in the US. It is also not a holiday in any other country. According to HoldayInsights.com, it is National Maple Syrup Day. But that is more of a recognized day and not a holiday.
As of 31 December 2006, the national dbt was US $4,901,047,000,000. The national debt as of 30 September 2014 was US $12,784,971,000,000.
The United States has no "national holidays". Congress can only designate holidays for federal facilities. If you consider that Christmas is December 25 and New Year is January 1, the only times you will have a federal holiday between the two (from Dec 26 through Dec 31) will be when Christmas and New Year fall on the weekend. For example, in 2016, Christmas was on Sunday so the Federal Holiday was observed on December 26. When New Year falls on a Saturday, the Federal Holiday would be observed on Friday, December 31. When the two holidays fall on a weekday, that day is the federal holiday, so there is no federal holiday between the two in those instances.
