Last-Minute Holiday Shopping Guide

Those who are running behind schedule on Christmas shopping and party preparations will likely save some time by utilizing the local leads that this list provides.

For the Christmas shopping and party arrangement procrastinators out there, this list of Brentwood-based or adjacent retailers and food merchants attempts to mitigate some of the Yuletide stress that often accompanies the holiday season. Christmas party hosts and hostesses should note the availability of food vendors in the event of an unexpected need to replenish food or drink items.

The majority of stores are closed Sunday, Dec. 25, so anyone with Christmas Day gatherings to attend should focus on Christmas Eve as the end of the line for gift shopping. Listings without a reference to Christmas Day are closed, and the times listed are for Christmas Eve hours of operation.

Ralph's, 12057 Wilshire Blvd. near Bundy Drive, is usually open 24 hours but closes at 10 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day the store's hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
