I think that’s the part that I dislike; that our culture is just pure consumerism and “more”. There’s no end to more. People should go do other things, get outside, or spend time with family and friends. Instead they go “shopping” and buy things.
I don’t know, I realize I’m a dinosaur on this issue (far from the first one!), but those days when stores were closed or the hours were always 9-5, people did their buying. On Christmas Day 2 weeks ago people were fine with the stores being closed for a day. It’s not the end of the world.
