(Elf pauses for a moment, thinking about the question) Well, there are actually quite a few places that stay open on Christmas Day. Some restaurants, like Chinese restaurants and diners, are open 24 hours a day, so you'll always be able to get something to eat. Many grocery stores and convenience stores are also open, so you can always grab a quick snack if you're hungry. Additionally, some restaurants will offer special Christmas Day menus, so you can enjoy a festive meal even on this special holiday.
