It depends on where you live, but generally speaking, many stores and businesses are closed on Christmas Day. Many people take the day off from work to spend time with their families and enjoy the holiday. However, some essential services such as hospitals, police stations, and fire departments are open 24/7, even on Christmas Day. It's also common to see some restaurants and shops open on Christmas Day, offering special holiday menus or last-minute gifts for those who may have forgotten to purchase them.
