It’s been a tough year for shops and restaurants during the pandemic, but businesses are hoping Christmas week gives them a much-needed boost.
We went to The Village Shops on Venetian Bay in Naples Thursday, where it’s a vital time for businesses.
Last-minute shoppers rushed out to make sure their friends and family would get the gifts they hoped for.
Those at shops we spoke to say there was a rush Christmas Eve when a lot of people like to be at home with family. It was a welcomed sight for small businesses.
