well it just is. any day can arbitrarily be a holiday. why is martin luther king jr day a holiday? cause we think he was great. how about presidnets day? we like presidnets and we like time off. there is no reason i guess. oh no i got it.. its so that all the last minute shoppers spend her money on big ticket items at walgreens - the only store that stays open regular hours on christmas eve ;)

Very well, Cratchit, take Christmas Eve and Christmas off -- but be sure you're here all the earlier the next day.

It's not a holiday but people working in the stores do appreciate being home before their kids go to bed.

Maybe they all want to get an early start on the celebration!
"Merry Christmas"

Welcome to the wonderful world of Christianity, where because of Jesus, non-Christians cannot...
- buy beer before 12:00 on Sunday
- drive down certain one-way streets on Sunday
- bank or mail letters on certain days of the year
- turn on a radio in December without hearing about the glory of the newborn king.

It's a time to stop, settle in with family, relax....and remember why we celebrate Christmas.

It's the American culture. You need to buy your crap earlier in the day. What are you a brand new immigrant here? You didn't know that by now?

It is an observance of the night Christ was born.
