Christmas is less that five days away. Here’s what will be open, closed in New Jersey

Toms River: Christmas is almost here, and if you’re in New Jersey, you might be wondering what’s open and what’s closed. With the holiday just around the corner, it’s good to know how to plan your week.

Christmas Day falls on a Wednesday this year, which means many businesses will be affected by the holiday. So, let’s break it down.

First off, banks like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and others will be closed on Christmas. It’s a bank holiday, so don’t expect to do any banking that day.

As for the courts, they’ll also be closed. All federal and state courts in New Jersey take a break on December 25. If you have any court matters, it’s wise to check for any early closings during that week.

Now, if you’re waiting for mail, you’ll have to wait a bit longer. FedEx, USPS, and UPS won’t be delivering on Christmas. Regular deliveries will pick back up on December 26.

Thinking about grabbing some holiday spirits? You might want to stock up ahead of time. There’s no state law on liquor sales during Christmas, so it’s up to local stores to decide their hours. Many grocery stores might not even have alcohol available if they’re open.

So, make sure you plan ahead and enjoy the holiday season!
