Georgia Restaurants Open on Christmas Day
Christmas is on the way, but not everyone is guaranteed to stay at home and be with family on the special day. In that case, you’ll have to find some Georgia restaurants and stores open on Christmas Day. Sometimes, families get together before or after the holiday, leaving some to wonder what restaurants or stores might be open on Christmas Day. I remember one specific Christmas when my family got stuck in a huge ice storm, and we weren’t able to make it to the usual family Christmas, so instead, we ate Christmas dinner, or breakfast, at an IHOP, and it was lovely. I loved the spontaneity of it, as well as the chocolate-chip pancakes. It was actually one of my favorite Christmases ever.
