The US Postal Service will be open on Christmas Eve, but with limited hours and services. Many post offices will close early in the afternoon, and there may be delays in processing and delivery of mail. The USPS also offers a service called "Priority Mail Express" which guarantees delivery by 12/25 if shipped by 12/23, but there are still some restrictions and exceptions. It's important to check with your local post office for specific hours and availability before shipping anything.
