ATTENTION Massachusetts residents and neighbors across our tri-state region! You might want to make sure you have everything you need for Christmas ahead of the holiday. Those planning to do any last-minute shopping or mailing will most likely be out of luck if they try to do it on Monday. Most retail stores and offices are closed on December 25th to let employees spend time with their families. that means, Christmas Eve will be jammed with last minute shoppers, so be prepared.

Here is what's closed on the day we observe the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ as we reflect on this special moment in our religious calendars:
