Is that the sound of Christmas carols you’re hearing? Not yet, but you will soon! I don’t know about you, but I often forget to buy something I need for the holidays. When this happens, I’m always scrambling to find a store that’s open and do some last-minute shopping! Well here’s a list of stores that will be open on Christmas Day this year, so that you don’t end up empty-handed like I did a few times.
My favorite store, Target, will not be open on Christmas Day, and neither will Kohl’s or Walmart. However, you can still shop online from the comfort of your home. And finally, there’s always Amazon with their awesome deals, no matter what date it is! So plan ahead, get your stocking stuffers ready, and enjoy the holidays!

Some people don’t have the luxury of planning ahead because they live paycheck to paycheck check to paycheck. I’m delivering for door dash right now. I realize some people don’t have family & have nowhere to go so they order their meals through us. I’m ok with that.
I work somewhere that is open certain holidays and whenever anyone says to us, I’m so sorry you have to work today! I just look at them and think, no you’re not, if you were you wouldn’t be here and if no one supported businesses open on holidays we could all be at home with our families. Of course we would never say that and play it off like it’s okay but just a reminder to keep those that are working non essential jobs in mind when choosing to vote with your money if they stay open on holidays! Do unto others as you would want done to you.
My Dunkin’ Donuts has limited hours. And my McDonald’s will be close the 25
Thank you for sharing that Jackeline!
I refuse and will not be shopping, nor eating out on Xmas Eve, Christmas Day or New Years. We have gotten to Commercialized. It is about the birth of Christ. It is a time to love, eat and spend time being grateful for the most precious ones in my life. Nothing I can buy can buy that love. If I didn’t plan well enough for food for the week, we don’t need it. Make a good list of what you need go early. Don’t stress yourself out . Family is forever!
