The day after Christmas looks a little different this year since the holiday fell on a Sunday.
The holiday will be observed Monday by both private employers and government offices Monday but most retailers will be open with after-Christmas sales.
When a federal holiday falls on a Sunday, it is traditionally observed the Monday after by the government and businesses.
Last year, Christmas fell on a Saturday and the public holiday was observed Dec. 24, which was a Friday.
Christmas clearance got off to an early start before the holiday at some stores but more markdowns will begin Monday.
Yes, but: The day after Christmas is traditionally a day to start holiday returns so expect long lines.
By the numbers: 70% of holiday shoppers said they were planning to shop the week after Christmas, according to a National Retail Federation survey:
47% said they planned to shop to take advantage of sales and promotions.
-27% said to use gift cards.
-18% said to return or exchange unwanted gifts or holiday items.
