Is there post during the Christmas period?
Royal Mail says that it delivers on most days of the year, including Saturdays.
But they do not deliver or collect on public holidays.
That includes any bank holidays throughout the year.
This means that there will be no post on December 25 and December 26, 2023 or on January 1, 2024.
Will restaurants be open for Christmas?
A lot of restaurants, especially fast food locations, choose to close on Christmas day
Those that stay open will usually have required you to book long in advance.
However, along with supermarkets, department stores and smaller retailers, they are usually open on Boxing Day – but opening times can change.
In any case, most restaurants have store locators which you can use to find out where your nearest branch is and its opening hours.
