**2009 UPDATE: If you landed here looking for what bars/restaurants are open for Christmas 2009, please CLICK HERE for a current list. **
It’s one of the most asked questions of the year – who will be open for Christmas? Christmas Eve can be a big bar night, but most bars, restaurants and businesses close up shop on Christmas Day. I’ve tried to compile a list of the bars/restaurants that will be open these two days in the Harrisburg area. I’ll update as I know more. If you know of any others, please e-mail me or add them in the comments. Happy Holidays!
