Wasn't there an EO that declared the 26 Christmas too?

Yes, but it only applies to this year.

According to an executive order issued last week, agencies may require certain federal employees to work on those dates if necessary for national security or other public needs. The order also does not change any existing laws. To establish a permanent federal holiday — which Christmas already is — Congress must pass legislation and then have the president sign it into law. - Yahoo News

It really seems like more of the no consequence fluff our politicians love to do these days.

According to the order, which only applies to 2025, some federal workers get Dec. 24 and Dec., 26 off but others may be required to work at the discretion of their leaders.

And, the days off for 2025 are not permanent. That's because in order for a federal holiday to be designated in perpetuity, Congress would need to pass legislation, which then must be signed into law by the president. -NBC
