There are 11 federal holidays in the United States. Christmas Day is one of those days. Government offices, organizations, businesses, and schools are closed, almost without exception. Many people visit relatives or friends and are out of town. Public transit systems do not run on their regular schedules. In general, public life closes down completely.
Since Christmas Day was on a Sunday this year the holiday is observed today -- the Monday following the holiday. Do you have the day off from work. If so, are you paid for the holiday?
