Restaurants open on Christmas Day?
My Grandparents are visiting the area during Christmas this year. Are there any restaurants in the Lakes Region or Concord area that are open for Christmas?

Restaurants open on Cristmas Day
Generally, in the local papers, there will be listings for restaurants open Christmas Day. Check the papers for your area.

The Wolfe's Tavern will be open from 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM on Christmas Day. If we do not see you, we all wish everyone a very happy holiday and success, happiness and health in the New Year!!

Pre-cooked meals
Generally, if you call ahead, some restaurants and delis will pre-cook a meal for you. Pick it up the day before, warm up the food and voila! I find this method far better than packing up the gang and head to a restaurant. Especially when the weather is not delightful.
If I head out to eat on Christmas Day, I feel pretty guilty about keeping the help away from their families. :( |
I agree! Most restaurants that actually care about their employees' quality of life are closed on Christmas Day. I'm betting that, even if you found somewhere that was open, the caliber of service and attention to detail about what was coming out of the kitchen would be significantly lacking. Even McDonalds is closed on Christmas Day! Pick up a premade meal or, better yet, impress your grandparents by putting a turkey in the oven Christmas morning. That baby will be ready by early afternoon, and the house will smell like heaven. No one has to go out in the cold, and you get to gather around the table in your own home. Sounds better than any restaurant meal to me. Merry Christmas!

Not everyone has the same view
There's a bunch of people out there that offer to work (similar to turkey day)...especially if there is added incentive of extra pay.

Tough statement about quality

I think you may be a little off base on this one. :rolleye1: |
That and there are many people that do not observe X-mas based on their religion or lack there of.

Volunteer!
At times I will volunteer my time during the holidays serving meals to those who are unfortunate. rather then stay home. It really make me feel good and makes my day! :coolsm:

Given I'm new to the area, and have no family here, I will be working Wolfe's Tavern on Christmas night so that my associates can be with family and friends. Hope to see you there.

Lol upthesaukee you are probably right - I actually know the hospitality business pretty well and the people that I know who work in local restaurants are way more like your sister-in-law than I'm giving credit. They are good people with lots of integrity. Maybe I was just projecting how I'D feel if I had to work Christmas day! I agree, it's a great option for people who may not have family nearby, or kids at home to entertain, and their generosity and willingness to make the holiday lovely for others should not go unnoticed. I seem to remember, in years past, that the Common Man in Ashland did a free meal on Christmas day for anyone in the community who wanted a place to gather... Don't know if that's still the case. At any rate, Happy Holidays to all! Don't mind my late night snarkyness. ;)

Are any Chinese restaurants open Christmas? We're celebrating with our families the weekend before so we asked the kids what they'd like to eat on Christmas. They want Chinese!
|
Pfu-Gee's in Meredith is, by far, the best chinese food around! I don't know if they are planning to be open on Christmas, but it is definately worth investigating! YUM! And a really, really nice family...

United Methodist Church in Gilford - FREE Christmas dinner at 1:00 p.m.

I did volunteer at Ashland Common Man about a decade ago. Alex Ray actually rolled up has sleeve and work with the crew. I will never forget the occasion. |

Talking with a Business owner
He mentioned something about his insurance company will not cover liability or casualty if people that are not on the payroll and are not customers. So that means volunteering in a commercial kitchen may not happen? Somebody should tell our lawmakers that enough is enough!

Litigation laws
The lawmakers are the ones that pass laws that allow everyone to sue whenever they like. So I blame the politicians, unless you know who to blame.

Sorry if any lawyers were offended by this post. |

I believe my comment was appropriate. Tort reform was promised and not delivered. The cost of insurance and malpractice suits continue to escalate. And by the way, I'm not the only one who feels he is doing a lousy job. Please check President Obama's approval ratings They are dropping rapidly. That being said, I'm sure a rebound is in the offing as he and his cronies are trying to be productive by pressuring the Redskins to change their "offensive" team name. Now that is certainly a productive use of time. Merry Christmas |
At the risk of getting back on topic...
