Hi Betty,
Hope you had a great Christmas!
Yes, virtually all restaurants are shut on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day, but Boxing Day is when most of the big stores start their "sales", so they are open. Virtually nothing - other than a few petrol (gas) stations is open Christmas Day.
I very much doubt you'd find many Indian or Pakistani people running a pub, because neither Hindus nor Muslims consume alcohol
