Christmas Eve Hours at the Post Office: Is the USPS Open on Christmas Eve?
The United States Post Office has been in sharp decline for years. Much of that is due to online services and Amazon, which often uses its own delivery service. But the government staple is something we’ll all probably need at some point. And they don’t just deliver the mail! You can get your passport there, carry a PO box and change your address (among other things).
So, you’re not likely to need to make a trip to the post office on Christmas Eve. Maybe you’re sluggish and sending out holiday cards right now and really want some festive stamps. Maybe you got a gift in the mail from an unexpected friend and now you have to mail a gift in return or you’ll look like a miser. Whatever the reason, you may be in luck.
