If you're in the area, start grabbing the Friday NWF Daily News. They get a lot of those kinds of restaurant ads in their weekend Showcase section once you get close to the holiday.

Looking for lunch on Christmas Day.  Don't want any buffets.  Watercolor says only open at 5:00 p.m.  Anyone know which restaurants will be serving lunch on Christmas Day?  How about over in Destin?  Thanks
