Decking the halls is all well and good, but sometimes your holiday spirit runs a little low after that much time together. Or, worse, you realize much too late that you’re missing a key ingredient for your holiday dinner or forgot a gift for a friend or relative. Finding a store that’s open and can come to your rescue can be a hit or miss affair, but there are a few options.

You’ll need to be creative. And might have to drive further than you want. Just remember that hours may vary and some municipalities have laws prohibiting major stores from opening on Christmas. And not every location follows the company's suggested hours. It's always a good idea to call first.
