HOLIDAY
A day of recreation; a consecrated day; a day set apart for the suspension of business.
A legal holiday is a day set aside by statute for
recreation, the cessation of work, or religious
observance. It is a day that is legally designated
as exempt from the conduct of all judicial pro-
ceedings, SERVICE OF PROCESS, and the demand
and protest of COMMERCIAL PAPER. A prohibi-
tion against conducting public business transac-
tions on holidays does not, however, have an
effect upon private business. Private transac-
tions will not, therefore, be invalidated solely
