what department stores are open on christmas

It depends on where you live. In some countries, like the US, Canada, and some parts of Europe, most department stores are closed on Christmas Day. However, there are usually some stores that stay open for those who need to do last-minute shopping or have emergencies. In other places, like China or Japan, many stores are open and are busy on Christmas Day due to the strong influence of Western culture. It's always a good idea to check with your local stores before making any plans.
