Spending Christmas alone this year? It might change in 2014.

I was out other day buying some items for an upcoming dinner. To be exact, it was a small retail store. We ( the clerk and myself ) were conversing about the many stores being open on Thanksgiving this year. The clerk was telling me, they ( his store ) were thinking about opening next year on Christmas Day 2014. According to this clerk; "there have been customers making this request to be open on that day". I suppose the lonely are requesting this to have a place to go on that day? Christmas was thought to be the most spritual holiday in the U.S.

Could this be the breakdown of the family, or lack of sprituality or greed? I'm sure those are the most contributing factors. Opening on Thanksgiving day seems to be a hot topic with most.

My question is, should Christmas Day be off limits with retailers and everything remain the same?
