CONGRESSWOMAN PLASKETT ANNOUNCES OFFICE CLOSURES FOR HOLIDAY SEASON

U.S. Virgin Islands— In observance of the Christmas and New Year's holidays, the Washington, D.C., St. Croix, and St. Thomas offices of Congresswoman Stacey E. Plaskett will be closed on the following days:

During Christmas week offices will be closed from Tuesday, December 23, until Friday, December 26, 2025, and will reopen on Monday, December 29, 2025. During New Year’s week offices will be closed from Tuesday, December 30, 2025, until Friday, January 2, 2026, and will reopen on Monday, January 5, 2026.

"As we celebrate this holiday season, I wish all who observe a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and a joyful Boxing Day, and everyone across the Virgin Islands a Happy New Year. For the Crucian community, I hope you enjoy every moment of the Festival Season—from the parades and village nights to the food fairs and cultural celebrations that make this time so special on St. Croix.

"This season reminds us of what truly matters—our families, our community, our rich culture, and our shared commitment to one another. To everyone celebrating across our beautiful islands, those working to serve and keep our festivals running, service members stationed away from home, and all who call the Virgin Islands home—may this season bring you peace, joy, and time with loved ones.

"As we close out 2025 and look ahead to the new year, let us carry forward the spirit of hope and determination that defines our territory. Together, we will continue building a brighter future for the Virgin Islands. Wishing you and yours a blessed holiday season."
