You forgot something, didn’t you? Even if you don’t think you did, you probably did.

Thankfully, the malls of Cobb County will be open pretty much up until the last minute so you can buy stuff for people who apparently need stuff you can buy them.

Town Center at Cobb, located off I-75 on 400 Ernest W. Barrett Parkway in Kennesaw, opens the day before Christmas at 7 a.m. and closes at 6 p.m.

Cumberland Mall, located at 1000 Cumberland Mall in Smyrna, will be open to shoppers on Christmas Eve from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Avenue East Cobb, located at 4475 Roswell Road in Marietta, opens the latest of the four at 10 a.m. Christmas Eve and will close at 6 p.m.

The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta, located at 915 Ridgewalk Parkway in nearby Woodstock, will open the doors on Christmas Eve at 8 a.m. and keep them open until 7 p.m.

All of them will be closed on Christmas itself, but they’ll all open back up to let you return that ill-fitting sweater before your aunt finds out: Town Center and Cumberland open on Dec. 26 at 8 a.m., and The Avenue and The Outlet Shoppes open that day at 10 a.m.
