re: Why is everything closed on Xmas as opposed to other holidays?

It's a tradition with significant meaning to most Americans whether the meaning is based on a Christian faith or just spending time with loved ones. We used to treat other holidays like thanksgiving with the same respect if you will. We may soon treat Christmas like those holidays but I don't see why one would advocate doing so...

...in short...it's the last real national holiday standing...can't we just leave it alone...everyone has to find some injustice in everything...
