Well, definitely be prepared because stores are in for chaos this Christmas Eve.

If you’re shopping locally now, call ahead to find out when the doors are open. THIS WILL VARY. AND I TALKED TO THE OWNER OF GOLDMAN FINE JEWELERS IN KENNER ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF BUYING LOCALLY. Of course, he says, this is the perfect time to give back to your community. THE OWNER SAYS ON BUSY DAYS like today, the queue at local stores tends to be shorter. HIS ADVICE COMES WITH A LIST OF WHO YOU’RE BUYING FOR, A GIFT IN MIND AND A BUDGET. MOST IMPORTANTLY, LOCAL BUYERS’ MONEY GOES BACK TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. I’m sure most local businesses invest their money back into the community and I do the same. I think we’ll just try to get in and out, yeah, just stay calm and try to get in and out as quickly as possible. As for grocery stores, some are open today but they close early. So call them before you rush out. ALWAYS LIVE COVERAGE IN JEFFERSON PARISH.
