There’s a lot going on around Christmas. You’ve got family in town, gift exchanges, cookie decorating and so on. While we’d like to think dining is on the top of everyone’s list, sometimes all the chaos of the holiday can make planning a dinner very overwhelming. Just picture it: A Christmas dinner where you and your family can simply enjoy each others’ company without the hassle of cooking and cleaning… Ah, yes – a Christmas miracle.

Why not treat yourself and your loved ones to a nice quiet lunch or dinner out this Christmas? A Christmas miracle for you and your kin!

Here’s a list of 8 restaurants in and around Columbus that are open on Christmas day!
