Sometimes, the joy of the holidays is overpowered or diminished by the stress of entertaining and hosting.
The hours of prep work and planning, the endless dishes, the piles of leftovers — it may just be too much.
So some neighborhood businesses are trying to give us a hand with dining options that won’t require four trips to the grocery store.
This list will be updated as new information comes in.
Palmer’s Hot Chicken

The Nashville hot chicken spot is offering the “haul it home” menu. Offerings include family meals of tenders, cluckers, catfish and more, plus sides such as cole slaw, collard greens and mac and cheese. Nanner puddin’ is available for dessert.
Orders of $50 or more come with the option of a quart of frosé or frozen margarita for $15.
Place and pick up orders by Dec. 23. Palmer’s is located at 6465 E. Mockingbird Lane.

This local store founded by Lakewood neighbors is participating in Enchant Christmas, the Christmas light maze and village at Fair Park. Stop by to try the Raclette cheese sandwiches, or get a cheese plate with three cheeses, dried fruit, nuts, jam, mustard and a baguette.
The sandwiches and cheese plate cost $12-$15.
Scardello’s booth will be open through Jan. 2 when Enchant Christmas is open. Tickets are available here.
