Picture this: It’s Christmas Day, you stayed up until 2 a.m. wrapping presents, and you’ve been awake since 7 a.m. opening presents — you’re having fun and your heart is full of joy, but your mood is on the brink of collapse if you don’t get to munch on some delicious food soon. That’s why we’re giving you a list of restaurants + bars open on the 25th because we know you won’t feel like cooking that day. 👩‍🍳
