FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- We're in the home stretch for Christmas Day. Much like Thanksgiving, many families will gather around the dinner table for a holiday meal.

But if you don't celebrate Christmas, plan to skip a big home-cooked meal this year or need to plan last-minute grocery/gift runs, you may be looking for open businesses in the area.

Many businesses will close or have adjusted holiday hours, so before you go out, you might want to consider calling ahead to ensure they're open.

We've compiled a list of some the big-name and local restaurants and businesses that will be open on Christmas Day:
