2022 has been quite a year. With the nonstop whirlwind of responsibilities and activities, especially in the last few weeks, no one could blame you if you neglected to get a gift for someone on your list. But, let’s be honest, do so and that blame will come nonetheless.

Whether you’re frantically searching for a very, VERY last-minute gift or a key ingredient for Christmas dinner, you’re going to have to be creative this year (and perhaps willing to drive a lot further than usual).

Finding an open store is a challenge in the best of times on Christmas Day. In a world where labor shortages are approaching critical levels, it’s even harder. That’s not to say you’re completely out of luck, though. There are a few options.

Keep in mind, though, that hours may vary and even if a national chain says it’s open, that doesn’t mean your local branch will be. Also, some municipalities have laws prohibiting major stores from opening on Christmas. Before you head out, it's always a good idea to check first.
