are shops open on christmas

Most shops will be closed on Christmas Day, except for some convenience stores or gas stations. However, many shops will be open on the days before Christmas and the days after Christmas to accommodate shoppers looking to buy last-minute gifts or items for New Year's celebrations. Some businesses may also have extended hours leading up to Christmas Day to accommodate last-minute shoppers. It's always best to check with your local stores or retailers for their holiday hours to ensure they'll be open when you need them.
