While many retailers adjust their hours for the holiday season, Home Depot remains a reliable option for last-minute shopping needs on Christmas Eve. As of 2025, Home Depot stores are expected to operate under modified hours, typically opening earlier and closing later to accommodate holiday shoppers. However, it is crucial to check with your local store for specific timings as they may vary by location[REF]1[/REF].
In contrast, the post office will be open today, Christmas Eve, operating on regular business hours. This means that you can still send out last-minute packages or visit your local post office for any postal services you may need[REF]2,5[/REF]. It is important to note that while the post office is open, mail delivery services will operate as usual on Christmas Eve. However, Christmas Day itself is a federal holiday, and all post offices will be closed with no mail delivery[REF]3,4[/REF].
For those who need to drop off packages or send letters on Christmas Eve, USPS will be operating normally, providing full postal services. This includes package pickups, mail delivery, and in-person services at post offices. However, it is advisable to check with your local post office for any changes in operating hours as they might vary[REF]5,8[/REF].
In summary, if you're planning to do some last-minute shopping or need to send out packages, Home Depot and the post office are both viable options today, Christmas Eve. Just be sure to confirm the specific hours of operation for your local Home Depot store and post office to avoid any inconvenience[REF]4,6[/REF].
