I’ll be skiing Christmas Day, and then going out for dinner. Everything is open in Whistler. Of course, thats Canada, not the US. But the same can be said for most ski resorts in the US too. Even the shops are open. It’s great.

I would have to go to another country to do that. Not because of the holiday, but for obvious other reasons.

Nah. Our country doesn't revolve around Christianity and that kind of thinking just makes Christians look bad.

The underlying theme of all of the OP's posts is any of the religions that don't celebrate Christmas. This thread is just another way of putting them down.

Mandatory Christmas Day closing is permitted as per the Constitution (part of blue laws) so no excuses!
Thank goodness you're not in charge of anything.

I'm Christian and i think your idea is absurd.

What about people that don't celebrate Christmas? You know, like Jewish folk?
