People around the world are preparing to celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas Day on Tuesday, December 24th and Wednesday, December 25th.

On Christmas Eve, the children will soon wait all night for Santa Claus and his reindeer before meeting their loved ones the next morning on Christmas Day and opening their presents.

For those in the U.S. who want to run a few errands before the man from the North Pole arrives, the U.S. Postal Service will be open and delivering mail on Christmas Eve. Still, people are advised to check the opening times of their local post office.

On Christmas Day, all US post offices are closed and mail will not be delivered.

Similar to the post office, most banks will also be open on Christmas Eve. However, some branches may decide to close early. All banks are closed on Christmas Day.

Unlike Christmas Eve, Christmas Day is considered a federal holiday. This means stores will likely be open during normal hours on Tuesday and closed on Wednesday.
