Christmas Eve. The fire is stocked, the stockings are hung and Santa is doing his stretches before hopping into the sleigh. You’re attempting to relax before the madness of opening gifts and seeing the fam, but then you realize… There’s no wine. None.
You frantically check the fridge, the pantry, that spot underneath your bed, anywhere you can think of on this planet. Nope. You drank your stash last week when your parents asked you if you were seeing anyone and if they wanted to set you up with the neighbor boy’s cousin. Blech.
Luckily, you can just go buy some, but you’ll need to get cash out. Are the banks open? What’s open? Where am I? What’s the meaning of life?
Here’s what you need to know for Christmas Eve 2017. Godspeed.
Are Banks Open On Christmas Eve This Year?
