In Case of Emergency: Five Stores Open on Christmas Day

If you need a carton of milk or batteries on the 25th, read on for your emergency (sort of) survival guide.

Oops! The in-laws are staying with you over the holiday and you wake up Christmas morning realizing your guests like half-and-half in their coffee, and you're out. Or you find you ran out of batteries for the remote control — no one will be happy with that one. Where to go, should a last-minute surprise pop up? We have a little list for you, should you need to head out to the door and grab something on the quick.

What can we say? The corner 7-Eleven (at whatever corner you happen to be) is open, selling milk, bread, soda, cat food, magazines, gum and much more. Plus, you can treat yourself to a Slurpee if you're so inclined.

Rounding another corner, and we're at another 7-Eleven, this one selling all the conveniences you'd expect, plus you can fill up with a tank of gas or pick up a donut while you're at it.

Besides a Dunkin Donuts on site, there's also a convenience store inside with pop, water, juices, candy, snacks and more. Plus the site is open 24 hours, so you can get a donut and a coffee to go any time, though pastries may be pared down a bit due to it being a holiday.
