The place was hoppin&#8217;, about as busy as I normally see it when I&#8217;ve gone in the evening during the week or on a regular Saturday.

Anyway, because Xmas day and New Year&#8217;s Day are on Mondays, DC&#8217;s liquor laws allow liquor shops to stay open the Sunday before. There&#8217;s no real reason they can&#8217;t be open 7 days a week normally (aside from outdated hopes for moral suasion), but one lives with the law one has, not the law one wishes one had.
