Here is the schedule for holiday closings across the Triad

(WGHP) — Governments and municipalities have set their holiday closing schedules, and most will be taking for a 3-day break for Christmas.

That would align with the North Carolina state government’s plans to be closed on Dec. 23-24 and Dec. 27 for Christmas, which this year falls on a Saturday. This includes the Department of Motor Vehicles for driver’s licenses and vehicle registrations.

The North Carolina court system is closed on Dec. 23, 24, 27 and on Dec. 31.

There are some variations to the schedules based on the government, but in most cases city governments are aligning with their county governments.

Alamance, Alleghany, Caswell, Davidson, Davie, Guilford, Montgomery, Randolph, Rockingham, Surry, Wilkes and Yadkin counties and their county seats will be closed Dec. 23-27 for Christmas.

High Point will be closed only on Dec. 24, which varies from Guilford County included in the list above.

Winston-Salem and Forsyth County are also outliers. The city will be closed Dec. 24, and the county will be closed on Dec. 24 and on Dec. 27-28.

Stokes County is closed Dec. 23-24, and the city of Danbury lists Dec. 27 as well.

All jurisdictions are taking only Dec. 31 for New Year’s Day.
