On federal holidays, most government facilities, banks, and post offices are closed, and mail delivery is suspended. While most retail stores, grocery stores, and gas stations remain open, many may operate with limited hours, particularly on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Essential services and certain government operations may continue, and most National Parks remain open except on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
