Christmas is less than two weeks away. To ease some of your holiday anxiety, we've put together a map of 11 places to eat on Christmas Eve and/or Christmas Day, with options stretching from Kennebunk to Camden with lots in between. Please note that many of the places on the list (ordered geographically) require or at least recommend reservations, so call ahead to reserve a spot. Forcing your father-in-law to settle for a Christmas dinner of Corn Dog Rollers and Fresca at the 7-Eleven will make everything un-merry.
Did we miss some good Christmas Eve/Christmas dining options? If so, please let us know in the comments.
