If you happen to be near here on December 20th from 5-6pm, you may hear the Back Bay Bell Ringers performing at the entrance to the Commonwealth Avenue Mall on Arlington Street.

We've been posting these rundowns early, when we notice our readers looking for the information on old posts. Because it's early, we will be doing updates as new information is announced. When we update this post, we'll add a comment (so sign-on to the comment feed) and send word out onTwitter.
Restaurants, bars: Many will be open, check for special hours and menus
Convenience stores:Many are open, check for special hours
City, Town, State, and Federal offices and facilities are closed:This includes Schools, Libraries, and the Postal Service. Only emergency services are available.
