‘Tis the season to ask about stores and their holiday hours — because if you need some last-minute groceries for your holiday feast and it’s Christmas Day, what can you do? Is your neighborhood Safeway going to be open on Christmas?
Of course, if you’re not crazy about making Christmas dinner to begin with, you can preorder a ready-made Christmas dinner from Safeway. Or you could skip the grocery store altogether by going out to eat at a restaurant on Christmas or grabbing some fast food on Christmas.
However, if you insist on making a quick (more like very long) run to the store on the year’s biggest holiday, be warned. Many stores close for Christmas, including major retailers like Walmart and Target. Despite that, knowing the stores that are open on Christmas can get you back to celebrating the holiday faster.
