I have noticed that many of the major retailers are open today!! What a shame. I was reflecting on the cause and I have decided the Grinch's name is "Political Correctness". Christmas is a religious based holiday and the PC crowd and ACLU take exception to that. We don't want to neglect a Jew, Moslem, afro- , or some other. Therefore the retailers stay opened to cater to the non-christians. I say this still sucks and refuse to go out shopping today. The people working deserve to be home with their families. You can bet their superiors are!!! That is, very senior management. Local management mans as much of the stores as possible to put even more money in the pockets of Scrooge. They are on salary and don't get overtime or holiday pay.
Perhaps the Govt needs to enact a mandatory "Family Day" and make it illegal to conduct any commercial business on this day!
By the way: Merry Christmas to each and all!!!!!
