A few places closing at 4:00 Xmas Eve and closed Christmas Day isn’t exactly “where to go for Christmas In Minneapolis.”

Well, aren't you snarky?
As I had mentioned, "Christmas celebrations can take on different forms from traditional, fusion to modern. Please use this list as an inspiration for ideas on how to put together your own Christmas celebration."
In this difficult times, I rather feature as many local restaurants to support the industry. Some people do celebrate CHRISTMAS EVE in general and not just 4 pm onwards.
Stay away from my site and good luck with your own research.
