So, is everything closed on Christmas Day? No. But most things are. The key is knowing your allies: Chinese food, movie theaters, and gas station snack bars. Plan ahead. If you forget to buy groceries, you will be eating a “Christmas Casserole” made from cheese puffs and canned chili. I’ve seen it happen. It’s not pretty.
And if all else fails? Good luck and happy snacking. The real Christmas miracle is that you can still find a hot cup of coffee, even if it costs nine bucks and comes with a side of existential dread. Stay warm. Stay caffeinated. And for heaven’s sake, buy the batteries before the 24th.
