十二月二十八日(jyunigatsu nijyuhachi nichi): December 28

Last day of working this year at the most offices. We call this goyo osame (御用納め) or shigoto osame (仕事納め). Goyo means business, and osame means to close. Shigoto means work.
Goyo osame is the closing of government offices for the year. Shigoto osame is the closing of general work for the year.
Post offices will be the busiest season for new year's cards. If they are posted by December 25, they are sure to deliver them on New Year's Day.
