Is christmas eve a mail holiday
In the United States, Christmas Eve (December 24th) is not a federal holiday, but it is a postal holiday.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) observes the following holidays:
- New Year's Day - January 1st
- Martin Luther King Jr. Day - Third Monday in January
- Presidents' Day - Third Monday in February
- Memorial Day - Last Monday in May
- Independence Day - July 4th
- Labor Day - First Monday in September
- Columbus Day - Second Monday in October
- Veterans Day - November 11th
- Thanksgiving Day - Fourth Thursday in November
- Christmas Day - December 25th
As a result, the USPS does not deliver mail on Christmas Eve (December 24th). However, some private carriers, such as UPS and FedEx, may still deliver packages on Christmas Eve, depending on their holiday schedules and delivery commitments.
It's always a good idea to check with your local post office or carrier for specific holiday hours and delivery schedules before sending or receiving mail on Christmas Eve.
