When is last day market is open before Xmas?

When's the last day the Stock Market is "open" before Christmas day? Is it open on the 22nd? (probably not, right?)

If they close on the 21st for the holiday, do you know if they will be open until 4pm EST or do they ever close early?

I plan to try to stay in for this "Christmas Rally" but not a minute later. (Unless the VIX blasts thru and above it's 200 day average.)

The holiday rally starts on 12/22 and resumes on 12/26 through 1/3/07.
