The 26th December Boxing day is not a holiday,
and also 2nd January is not a Public holiday.

From the list of holidays, you should note that Geneva is a Protestant city, so accordingly.
2nd January is a bank holiday because they close the book/bank clearings. but still many backoffice work. but other companies work because its not a national day off in Geneva.

Nouvel An, dimanche 1er janvier 2012 (pour les entreprises non soumises à la loi fédérale sur le travail dans l'industrie, l'artisanat et le commerce, lorsqu'un jour férié tombe un dimanche, le lendemain de ce jour - dans ce cas le 2 janvier 2012 - est déclaré férié);
Vendredi-Saint, vendredi 6 avril 2012;
Lundi de Pâques, lundi 9 avril 2012;

Just to help clarify '(pour les entreprises non soumises à la loi fédérale sur le travail dans l'industrie, l'artisanat et le commerce, lorsqu'un jour férié tombe un dimanche, le lendemain de ce jour - dans ce cas le 2 janvier 2012 - est déclaré férié)
= 'for companies not subject to the Federal Act on work in industry, crafts and trade, when a holiday falls on a Sunday, the day after this day - in this case on January 2, 2012 - is declared public holiday'
This means if a public holiday lands on Sunday, then the next day Monday is considered a public holiday.
