Answer 1 of 14: My bad for not checking beforehand about the closure of most restaurants and shops in Perth on Christmas day but I have already booked my accommodation and will be travelling from MR to Perth on the 25th.
Christmas, while supposedly one of the most joyous times of year, can also be one of the most stressful. Sure, there's tinsel and Mariah Carey and the freedom to watch Love Actually multiple times without judgement, but if you happen to be hosting the main event your blood pressure is probably going through the roof.
Those cousins you haven't seen in years? They'll be there, complete with gluten-free and vegan dietary requirements. Then there's a tree to put up, a table to decorate, and, most importantly, a menu that will keep everyone happy to plan. Not to mention shopping for the last-minute Secret Santa you've been dragged into at work.
If the whole thing is filling you with dread instead of merriment, why not ditch tradition (and a mountain of dishes) and treat yourself to a nice civilised meal out on the town.
Here's what's open on Christmas Day in Perth so you don't have to cook.

The Guildford Hotel
