Looks like a long list of ceremonies, though the actual holiday is on the 20th (Presidents Day).

I'd be very surprised if they completely shut down the entire processing centre for the ceremonies. I can't imagine them paying all of their employees (there must be quite a lot of them!) to do no actual work and just sit in ceremonies all over the country for the whole week. I may be wrong - I have no idea what goes on in the mysterious CSC board room that leads to delays and days without activity - but it would definitely seem like a very odd decision. Even for them
