It’s no question that everyone loves the holidays, but man, is it exhausting. Finally, you’ve finished running around town muscling your way through the chaotic crowds at local shops, the Galleria Mall, Tops/Wegmans and the countless holiday markets.
You’ve crossed everyone and every holiday bucket list tradition off the list, the presents have been wrapped and violently unwrapped. The batteries are in and the kiddos are amused. Now, leave the kids with grandma and head out for a much needed post-Christmas dinner drink with your *fun* friends and fam at these *fun* local bars open on Christmas Day.
