I just worked today when I would rather have been at home. I'm fine with the idea of things closing on christmas day.

Christmas, Most places are closed everyone wants to be with family and friends today, and open gifts if they received any.

They should not close, because not everyone has a family to celebrate with

Because employees of those places want to be with their families today too.
