Alexandria Restaurants Open For Christmas 2018
For many families, eating out is a Christmas tradition. Here are the places that will open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

The Christmas season can be tiring between buying gifts, baking cookies and getting the house together for holiday gatherings. So whether you need a break from holiday cooking or traditionally go out to eat with your family, there are numerous dining options in and around Alexandria.
We've rounded up restaurants open on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or both from OpenTable and restaurant websites. Click on each restaurant name to make reservations.
If we missed a spot, be sure to let us know in the comments or by emailing Emily.Leayman@patch.com. Patch can't guarantee table availability.
