5 Places Open on Christmas Day Around Macomb
Malls, government offices and most businesses are closed Dec. 25, but there are still a few places that will be open around town.
If you end up forgetting a key ingredient for Christmas dinner (we hear butter is a hot item on Christmas day) or are looking to get out of the house, here are five places that are open on Christmas Day.
1. CVS
Most CVS stores are open Christmas Day, but there is no guarantee that you will be able to fill a prescription. CVS is the spot to pick up a holiday card, pet food or other must-have item when just about everything else is closed.

3. Starbucks
Starbucks is one of several national chains remaining open on Christmas Day. There's a decidedly different atmosphere: more laid back, quiet even, as folks read newspapers, pore over their laptops or sit quietly to savor the day.4. 7-Eleven
The convenience store becomes the ultra spot for convenience on Christmas Day. On the way to Grandma's house, you can also pick up some last-minute items, from Advil to Gatorade. The company's stores are open 24 hours on Christmas Day. Forget to buy someone a gift? Grab a handful of Slim Jims and be a Christmas hero.
5. Movie Theaters
