It's the Emperor's Birthday holiday according to the Bank of Japan calendar I looked up.
The following weekend looks to be a 5 day long weekend with the 31st December being a bank holiday, 1 January being the New Year's Day holiday, and 2 January another bank holiday. There's another national holiday on 14 January for Coming-of-Age day.
All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

Hmm - it seems that now the only bank account they list at the funding page is in Poland. In Poland 24th is not really bank holiday - but in practice not much is done on that day, and then 25th and 26th are bank holidays.

Even with it being a bank holiday, Mt. Gox has "just merely mortal humans that sometimes also need some rest and fun!" they say:

From December 24th to January 7th, Mt.Gox will work in limited capacity while still being able to help you whenever a question arises or regarding your account.

Too bad there isn't a payment network that is 24/7, and doesn't rely on humans.
Oh wait, ...

Incidentally, if you are looking to sell, there will be a lot of people with Christmas cash who then become anxious to buy bitcoins.
So listing an offer on LocalBitcoins might be a good way to sell some coins.

Yeah, it's a better idea to look at cultural practises rather than just official holidays. An awful lot of places here in Australia are now shut down until 7 January or 14 January and many others will have only skeleton staffing during that time.
All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

There is but it only works for the Bitbears and not for the Bitbulls in this case. This after all is the point of this thread.
Concerned that blockchain bloat will lead to centralization? Storing less than 4 GB of data once required the budget of a superpower and a warehouse full of punched cards.
