Our daily “what’s happening” list is in part a list OF lists today, with info we’ve been compiling as Christmas Eve/Day approached. So that’s where we begin:

GROCERY-STORE CLOSING TIMES: Most supermarkets close early tonight. This list is in the Christmas Eve/Day info atop our West Seattle Holiday Guide.

RESTAURANT LIST: Our list of restaurants open Christmas Day includes some info on Christmas Eve.

COFFEE-SHOP LIST: Same goes for the coffee list.

LAST-MINUTE SHOPPING: We invited businesses to let us know if they’re open Christmas Eve. We have a few in the Guide. (Not too late to add – post a comment)

CHRISTMAS EVE CHURCH SERVICES: We’ve heard from a dozen churches with services tonight (and beyond), also listed in the Guide.
