When grocery stores open and close for Christmas Eve and Christmas around Springfield

Celebrating Christmas generally involves family gatherings and holiday parties.

While we do our best to have everything prepared, Murphy's Law dictates something will be forgotten. You may need to make a trip to the grocery store to get that last ingredient for your cookies or maybe you spaced buying that ham.
