Until 2-3pm
We are open until 2-3pm usually. Open regular hours the day after Christmas (usually the funerals have stacked up by then).

Brides who live out of town, but come home for the holidays, want to do their spring or summer wedding planning. They're usually irritated we won't schedule appointments the 22nd, 23rd or 24th.
We will be open on Christmas eve from 9 am to 4:00 p.m.
Always a bunch of last minutes shoppers...lots are for roses.
We will be only 3 staff member and I am not schedualing one new staff so she could be with family out of town. The rest have in town families to go to.
As for the 26th, here in Elliot Lake NO STORES ARE OPEN. (Town Bylaw).
However I have been called in by our local funeral director if she need my services. One the 27th I will be coming in with one other staff member. Our out of town designers gets to travel back that day, THe one working with me will have New Years Eve off and the other designer will also have it off to give her a three day off.
If store hours are posted now on your doors and you wish to be open or closed that is fine. We all have different reasons to do it.
I am also giving Christmas diner at my place this year, as my mom is still not well to do it and we have the room.
Now if I dont have to be anywhere on the 26th, I stay in my underwear all day!!!!!!

We will be open 9:00 -4:00 Christmas eve and back open for a full day the 26th. No doubt we will also have the brides wanting the appointments, the after holiday shoppers looking for bargains, and the funeral work will pile up. We will spend Christmas eve with my husbands family and Christmas day with mine. There is always slooow days in January to take an extra day off here and there, that is when I will rest and give extra of myself to my kids and family, they understand.

We will be closed on December 24th ....
we are not usually open on Sundays, except on call orders for funerals. This too will be our last Christmas with Mom, and we are an all family business ... therefore we will be enjoying time with family. We give up the rest of our year to our customers and this time will be selfish. The last time we stayed open for a Sunday Christmas Eve, we could have scratched our butts all afternoon. The last time we stayed open on a Sunday Valentine's Day we had about 3 customers ... everyone is used to the fact that we are not open for business on Sunday. So I'm with the ones who want to spend the time with family this year. We are enjoying every moment we have now.

Plan to be closed because it's on Sunday this year....and my, the idea of the 26th sounds very tempting!
We are open and delivering, although probably closing at 3pm, seeing as it is a Sunday I don't think we would have the after lunch business like a weekday 24th. Thankfully closed the 26th, at least I get 2 days off!
