Is the Post Office Open Today?
The Postal Service observes every federal holiday: post offices close and there is no regular mail delivery (Priority Mail Express still delivers 365 days a year). On non-federal days like Good Friday, Black Friday and Christmas Eve, mail runs normally, though some post offices close early on December 24.
