Chrismas and Business Hours

The other day I was trying to find a restaurant to eat at with a friend of mine. Normally such a task would have been simple, just find a place that both can tolerate and head towards it. But due to it being Christmas Eve, the selection was slim. So rather than spend the next few minutes complaining about it, I thought about coming up with ideas to better the problem:
1. Put a large sign out saying your open during Christmas (Eve)
2. Have a website which lists the hours of stores and restaurants (like those gas price websites)

Or better yet, just stay open. I am sure they can find people willing to work, it seems that Starbucks did (lucky for me.)
