As for what’s open, the answer is very little. You may find that some larger chain stores will remain open for shortened hours.
Some stores that will be open with adjusted hours include Safeway and Alberstons. Both Walgreens and CVS will keep most of their locations open.
So if you have last minute shopping needs be they errands or groceries, make sure you do them on the 23rd as some stores close early on Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas!
