For some, Christmas Day is a special day filled with gifts and treats and celebration — but for others, it’s simply Dec. 25.

Most places are closed on Christmas, including work, school, banks and most restaurants and shops, and it can be hard for those who do not celebrate to find something to do.
You may also want to enjoy time out of the house after celebrating the holiday with family and friends, so where do you go after the festivities end?
There is always the tradition of movies and Chinese food for many people, but there are many other restaurants and stores open on Christmas Day. Check out our definitive list with help from RestaurantNews.com.
