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.

But my culture's traditions are to go shopping at T&T in the morning and eat at a restaurant on Christmas day because we never close and we like it that way.
