Here’s A List Of Every Store That’s Open On Christmas

by Brittany Bennett

On Christmas Day the streets may be so quiet that there won't even be a creature stirring, not even a mouse. That's because a majority of retailers shutter their doors for a well deserved day off to spend with family and that Christmas roast. But, if you want to venture out for either last minute stocking stuffers or a meditative stroll down an aisle, you'll want to know what stores are open on Christmas Day 2017. Knowing what's open means you won't have to spend time driving around to find an "open" sign when you need to get out for some air.

After the thrill of opening presents and the consequential task of gathering and recycling wrapping paper, you might not find much to do until guests arrive for dinner. Sure, you can help actually prepare the feast or fiddle with the new gear Santa dropped off, but to avoid cabin fever it's always nice to get out of the house. Or, maybe, you don't celebrate at all and need something to do besides snow shoeing the trails.

Whether you just got struck with a craving for pita chips that needs to be satiated immediately or need an activity to tide you over until businesses are up and operating normally the next day, there's at least something to do. It may be quiet on an almost eerie level, but the tame temper of town might actually be nice to experience for once. Find your merry cheer at one of these stores open on Christmas Day. And for the sake of the staff kindly working, give them a smile and a thank you.
