I think that the entire country should shut down completely on Christmas Day - including airports, public transportation, movie theaters and Asian restaurants that are open. Let the country rest for God’s sake one day a year. Essentials like hospitals and emergency services are obviously excluded.
Israel has similar law and even more restricted on Yom Kippur where even TV stations are shut down and empty roads! In mega city London even their public transportation are halted.
Mandatory Christmas Day closing is permitted as per the Constitution (part of blue laws) so no excuses!
Everything should not shut down on Christmas. This isn't a theocracy that you want so badly. Not everybody believes in your god or any god for that matter. That is the beauty of this country.
You know who will get hurt this shut down ? Churches as millions of Christian Govt workers in fear they may not get paid timely wont part with donations.
I have to admit sometimes I fondly remember some things from my childhood, one of which was a virtual shutdown of business and most activities on Christmas Eve, after about noon and of course Christmas Day. But times change.

I am all for it but the religions that don't celebrate Christmas might have a problem with you.
