Italy doesnt close at Christmas like other countries. Naples is great at christmas - there is the Via San Gregorio Armeno in the heart of the old city where they sell all the presepe stuff and where theres Christmas all year round. The Neapolitans love their Christmas, the more gaudy and kitsch the better. Having said that Xmas in Italy isnt as commercial as other places. In Naples there is the big meal on Christmas Eve which means everything shuts at 7pm while they cook eels. Xmas Day is great, discos, cinemas, everything is open and after your blow out on Xmas Eve you go out and enjoy yourselves. Pompei will be open I would think, and it should also be possible to go up vesuvius. The weather at Xmas is usually mild, and its more an occasion to eat than to spend a fortune.
