ACADIANA, La. — Christmas is known to be the holiday that you spend at home with family and friends, but this may not be the case for everyone.
I called over 100 restaurants and stores around Acadiana and even reached out to our viewers on Facebook for suggestions, and I was able to find a few places that are opening their doors on Christmas Day.
