A few years ago, we were traveling on Christmas and found that Walgreens was open. Disappointing. All I wanted was a camera which I could buy at a convenience store. The workers at Walgreens and the fast food places were NOT happy to be working to be working on Christmas. Most retailers do not need to be open on the holidays.
Couldn’t you get the non-believers, jews, etc.. to work Christmas? I seem to be able to find some quicky mart open on Christmas run by Indians. Hell, in Christmas story they went to a chinese restaurant because they were the only place open and the neighbor dogs ate their turkey.
