What's Open This Weekend, and When?

It’s inevitable.

Every year, just when you think you’ve got your holiday party hosting ducks all in a row, your brother-in-law’s cousin’s niece brings her offensive-lineman boyfriend and her step-uncle’s Great Dane/Bull Mastiff mix, and you frighteningly realize you only have enough heavy whipping cream for two green bean casseroles and one pumpkin pie as the dog wrestles with the neighbor’s 12-year-old son on the kitchen table that used to be set.

But it’s noon on Christmas Eve. Where do you go?

Well, luckily is open until 5 p.m., so the heavy cream is just an aisle away.

And closes at 1 p.m., so there’s just enough time to pick up an extra hinge for the back door after Fido gave little Johnny a pile driver from on top of the center piece, which can be replaced at by 9 p.m.

Last but not least, a $2 Guinness at , open normal hours, might give you just enough courage to walk back through that broken door.

Oh, and can replace that finely-tailored shirt your brother accidently doused with wine from that you have until 5 p.m. to replace.

And if this happens on Christmas, then is your knight in shining armor - it's open until 3 p.m.

What's that, Clark Griswold? I think Bing Crosby and Danny Kay are just starting their tap dance.
