Many families across the valley spend their Christmas indoors, eating and celebrating with family and friends, while others like to get out and about for awhile. Luckily for them, some businesses do remain open for the holiday.
For dozens of families, the festivities started with a Christmas breakfast at Denny's. It's been the Graham's tradition for 15 years.
Phyllis Graham says, "It's wonderful, it's great and I don't have to cook or clean or clean up the kitchen."
Believe it or not, it's the diner's busiest day of the year.
Customer Aaron Bump says, "My mom happens to work here and we thought it'd be nice to come and say hello."
The holiday cheer, and traffic, has been non-stop. For many it's a home away from home.
Denny's manager Melvin Rosario says, "You realize that a lot of people don't have family in certain areas or their families are away from the area, so we become their family."
For other families, Christmas morning means being outdoors; soaking up the sun at the Fig Garden Golf Course, and making room for the holiday feast.
Golfer Paul Yoo says, "It's nice to get out in the morning especially on a gorgeous day like today to get some exercise."
For one father and son, it's a tradition in the making.
"It's the first time in my life I even played golf on Christmas day and it's just kind of unique," says Clark Roundtree.
At the movie theatres, new releases drew crowds all day long.
Pam smith says, "We have started a tradition. It started last year with Christmas going to see Les Miserables and we loved it so much that we decided to do it this year."
