A few states in America recognize Boxing Day (called the Day After Christmas Day), but generally, most Americans are not off work on Boxing Day unless their employer decides to close or if people choose to use one of their own personal vacation days. Most Americans are off on Christmas Day, as many businesses are closed, with the exception of places like gas stations and some fast-food restaurants. If Christmas Day falls on a Saturday, then the holiday will be observed on Friday, generally; if it falls on a Sunday, then it will be observed on Monday.

Most Americans work on Christmas Eve, even if it is a shortened day, unless their employers are kind enough to be closed or if people take their own vacation days.

Many Americans save a good amount of their vacation and use the days so that they can have a week or two between Christmas and New Year's off.
