Shopping Holidays
Double-check at your store because the store hours are a bit different.
Get an early start and expect crowded stores, generally morning and early afternoon on Christmas Eve
Plan ahead: Pre-opening on an agenda does not sound so bad because all of the stores are actually going to open earlier.
Closed Christmas Day
The superstores and the others like grocery stores will be closed on December 25, Wednesday. Although there are some convenience stores or pharmacies that will be open for a few hours, your best estimate would be to shop all your merchandise on Christmas Eve.
Baking an entire box of eggnog to serve at a Christmas party, stocking snack food baskets to deliver to zoo animals, and rummaging through pantries for scraps of wrapping paper covering presents, Christmas Eve is your last opportunity to shop for all items on your holiday wish list. Do it!—holiday cheer!
