Will western union be open Christmas week ?

It should be open on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday no. Better get some cash before then. I remember last year I had family in town and we went the 23rd and they were all out of cash so just be prepared and don't want for the last minute.
 
I'm sure they'll be closed the Tuesday and Wednesday but will they just close on monday etc for funsies don't want to be caught with no cash
They will be open on Monday. Everything is fairly dead on the 24th and 25. Better to do it ahead of time. Lately the WU rate to send has gone way up. I'm not sure what this is all about. I was getting decent fees for a while but jumped up the last few weeks.
 
In Argentina, December 24th is not an official holiday, but as a custom, most administrative offices and public-facing businesses are closed, or they only open for half a day, meaning 4 hours. That's how it works here. My sister-in-law, who works in an accounting office, told me she’s never worked on this date. The same goes for December 31st, as many places close or have reduced hours. So don’t get your hopes up, it's likely that Western Union will also be closed. It’s best to plan ahead and make sure you have enough cash for the holidays.
