Oh, Boulder — you and your hustle and bustle. Christmas is right around the corner and it seems like everyone is running around getting last minute errands done in the light dusting of snow that we got last night.

For many people, Christmas is a day spent in pajamas, with very little thought given to even venturing outside for more than an afternoon run or dog walk. But for others, Christmas Day is a time to get together with friends and celebrate the relationships that the past year has brought into their lives.

But perhaps this year in Boulder has been hectic. You’re ready to call it but you’re not ready to call it and go hungry.

So, where do you go in Boulder for a nice Christmas meal — and cocktail, if so inclined? Well, if your quest for sustenance and celebration is beyond your front door tomorrow, this article is for you in particular.
