Santa Fe Xmas day- what's open??
 
Happy holidays everyone!
There's a good chance no one will see this as it's Christmas Eve day but I'm hoping to get some quick advice. I'm in Santa Fe tonight & tomorrow, Christmas Day (which is actually my birthday) & all I wanted to do for my birthday was a hike to a hot spring (perhaps San Antonio or spence). But now it's looking like there's the possibility that the weather may be less than desirable for that activity which leaves me scrambling a bit for an alternative. Is there anything open/going on in Santa Fe during the day? I know there's some Xmas day Pueblo dances but haven't been able to find definitive info on locations, times, etc. ANY advice (outdoor activities, something a bit out of town) would be great.
Additionally for dinner on Xmas night, I'm looking to avoid some $75 four course Xmas dinner. What will be open in Santa Fe where we can get a casual meal & perhaps a drink or two? :) I am with a friend, we are in our late 30s & just looking for a social & casual scene for my birthday dinner.
Thanks again for reading & happy holidays!

Happy birthday!

http://www.newmexico.org/feast-days/ should help. Call the pueblo office today (Google is your friend for any phone numbers not supplied). Be sure to read the pueblo etiquette information.

Check the Santa Fe Reporter www.sfreporter.com for restaurant information.

Do you have a car?

I think they may be open -

Restaurants -
Santa Cafe
Sazon
Both appear to be open. I am afraid that you won't find cheap eats on Christmas night.

How about going to casino to eat? Buffalo Thunder?

Assuming you've not been in SF before; this is really unique and quite special:

Thanks so much for all the suggestions & bday wishes! I think we've decided to tackle a trail around the St. John's area during the day & then start making phone calls about the dinner options suggested here.
Someone else suggested Harry's roadhouse may be open - are they any good? Anyone know anywhere that will be serving breakfast? Chocolate maven? We are going to call in the a.m. Feel free to send along any other thoughts, thank you!!
