There are few times of the year that are as stressful as the holiday season. You're trying to finish up all of your work before the end of the year, buy amazing gifts for everyone on your list and attend a few holiday parties.
OK, that last one is actually fun, but still. Once Thanksgiving is over, you only have a few short weeks to get a whole lot done. The holiday season is just a crazy time that inherently has a lot of tension. Why do you think there are so many movies and TV shows that revolve around Christmas?
With all of this going on, the last thing you want to think about is what to cook for Christmas dinner. You're never going to be able to live up to the banging Thanksgiving dinner your family enjoyed a few weeks ago, and there's just so little time to put together an amazing meal in the first place. You might as well just go out to eat, am I right? Here are some of the best restaurants open for Christmas this year, whether you celebrate the holiday or not. The hours and promotions for each restaurant may vary by location.
