Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, I can't think of anyone that is excited to get up and go to work when the majority of Americans have the day off. I think most would rather be home. Many just do it for the money because they aren't making enough and celebrate Christmas a different day. The rest report to work because they have to like doctors, police, firefighters, etc.

On one side people get caught up in the religious argument, on the other it's over commercializaton. Me? I just wish Americans get a day when they can spend time with family. In an ideal world, all folks in non-critical work would get time off, and an extra little bonus for a hard year's work.

Took care of my grocery needs today. If I forgot something, I won't bother. Staying off the roads on Dec 25th may lighten the load for emergency responders.
