These are the Chi bars that're open on Christmas Day
How do you normally celebrate someone's birthday? Do you unwrap a bunch of gifts not for that person? Do you sit around licking candy canes? No. No you don't. You go to a bar and you drink. Here are the Chi bars that're open tomorrow, so you can go celebrate Jesus' birthday like a normal person.
