Over the years, many big name shops in the US have continued to stay closed on Christmas Day. Among those retailers are Target and Costco.

However, other shops around the country have kept their doors open during the holiday with merely adjusted hours of operation. Even though Christmas falls on a Sunday this year, making 26 December Christmas Day Observed, a majority of stores will still be open on that Monday.
