Simply having a wonderful Christmas time? Good, we thought so. Now here's a list of places you can go on Christmas if you don't have the time or the energy to cook something yourself.
No shame here, I ate tacos last year and they were delightful. (FYI: Taqueria Pico de Gallo was also open on Christmas Day, but I wasn't able to reach them to confirm their schedule this year.) Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and have a special Festivus for the rest of us!
