Dining Out: Because Who Wants to Cook on Christmas?
Let's face it, the last thing you want to do on Christmas is cook. So, where can you find sustenance without donning an apron? While many places are closed on Christmas, a surprising number of restaurants are open to rescue you from your hunger pangs.
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
- Fine Dining: If you're feeling fancy, there are a few steakhouses and upscale restaurants open on Christmas Day. Expect to pay a pretty penny, but hey, it's Christmas!
- Casual Eats: For a more relaxed dining experience, you might find some casual eateries open. Think pizza places, Chinese restaurants (a classic Christmas Day choice), and maybe even a few burger joints.
Important Note: Always call ahead to confirm hours and availability, especially on holidays. You don't want to show up at a closed restaurant and have to resort to eating your neighbor's leftover fruitcake.
