Do mail carriers work on christmas

In the United States, mail carriers typically do not work on Christmas Day, which is December 25th. The United States Postal Service (USPS) observes Christmas as a federal holiday, which means that most post offices and mail processing facilities are closed on this day.

However, mail carriers may work on Christmas Eve (December 24th) to ensure that mail and packages are delivered to customers before the holiday. In fact, the USPS often hires temporary workers to help with the increased volume of mail and packages during the holiday season.

It's worth noting that some mail carriers may choose to work on Christmas Day, especially those who are part-time or seasonal employees. Additionally, some private mail carriers or courier services may operate on Christmas Day, but this is not as common.

If you're wondering whether your mail will be delivered on Christmas Day, it's best to check with your local post office or mail carrier to confirm their holiday schedule.
