Now we know once and for all that Christmas is purely an excuse to shop and has nothing whatsoever to do with the birth of Jesus Christ: "It was once anathema to think of shopping on Thanksgiving Day, but
now that's become almost commonplace with the likes of Walmart and Macy's opening their doors on the holiday.
What's next? Christmas Day? Actually, yes, according to consulting company LoyaltyOne.
'It's
inevitable,' said LoyaltyOne managing partner Dennis Armbruster, who
predicts that retailers will start opening on Christmas Day within three
years. 'What Christmas means to some is just changing, and a lot of
families don't necessarily celebrate on Christmas Day because of
extended family dynamics. Consumers are also highly used to getting what
they want, when they want it.'"
What a sad commentary.
