Corrected entry: When Bob Cratchit asks Mr. Scrooge for Christmas Day off, he explains that all businesses will be closed and he would have no one to do business with. But when Scrooge wakes up from his last spirit, he asks the little mouse to get the prize turkey out from the window. I thought all shops were closed on Christmas Day as Cratchit had previously said.

Correction: The butcher was closed. But back then, it was common for people to live and work in the same building. So the butcher could be roused and the arrangements made with little trouble. The butcher might very well demand a bit of extra pay for his trouble, but the point is that the shop being closed is hardly an obstacle.
