And what about the staff being made to work? What if they wanted to be with their families and enjoy their christmas dinner and a day's rest?
I don't see why anybody can't prepare for one day without a shop opening.

Re: Christmas day shopping
Lots of shops were open here too..Disgusting.. No matter your belief or faith you can respect others and one day without shopping wont kill anyone...
I once had Jehovahs knock at the door just before Christmas,,I knew them from my sons primary school I explained I couldnt talk because he had mumps.. A couple of hours later they knocked again and offered to either babysit or go fetch my shopping for me ' buy your sprouts or whatever it is you eat at Christmas'..
A very Christian attitude and respectful of other peoples beliefs.

Re: Christmas day shopping
Gosh I can't see it hurting anyone if a shop wants to open on Christmas Day, should pay the staff decently obviously but m husband worked for a few hours, the factory he fills vending machine for was working so they needed their coffees and teas. Many people work Christmas Day, nurses doctors, care homes and more, it's just another day for many.
