Over the years I've found it quite remarkable to take an early drive through most any town on Christmas Day and
nothing is open; no grocery stores, no gas stations, no restaurants.....Nada.
It's eerie and at the same time pleasing.
Times change.

Sundays used to be like that, with just small stores opening at noon.
I hope to sometime again live in a place that places people and relationships before anything else.

These brick and mortar retailers are desperate.
I’ve spent over a thousand bucks on Christmas gifts so far this month. And my retailer is open 24/7. If I so chose - I can shop Christmas day as well.
Amazon. They never close. I never have to waiting in long shopping lines.
Why shop anywhere else?

It won’t matter. Retail sales are down, down, down and they cannot invent any more days in a year than 365.

The biblical calendar has December 25 this year as the 13th day of His 10th month. The 5th Day of His Work Week.
A work day according to the calendar template He taught Israel.
Brings to mind Daniel 7:25 and Revelation 13.
And what an eye opening Revelation it is if one is blessed with eyes to see!
With one Bible verse, ezekiel 46:1, Babylon can fall in one’s life.

Why not?
They push for shopping on the Day of our gaining our Independence from England.
They push for shopping on the Day of Dead Military.
They push for shopping on the Day of Living Military Veterans.

I had a job in high school working in a local department store in a small town.
Every Christmas morning there would be several anxious calls from people needing to come to the store and buy presents.
They never forgot the accommodating owner of the store or those of us he called in to help on Christmas morning.

I can understand their drive thru pharmacy window being open in the event someone needs a prescription filled on an emergency basis but other than that IMO everything everywhere should be closed. The only people that should be required to work are those providing emergency services.
