were empty of cars and people… as we set-out to find the Christmas tree. We spotted a lot, I did an illegal u-turn in my VW bug and drove up to the empty Christmas tree parking lot. The owner of the Christmas tree lot had abandoned the place and the fence gates were wide open. So we parked the car, and spent the next 30 minutes sorting through trees. Robin, was in the moment and we must have looked over at least thirty trees left behind for our pickings. I was coaching her in consideration how big of a Christmas tree we could actually fit into a VW Bug. We finally settled on a smaller Christmas tree that was propped up on a wooden stand and looked a little weak in the branch department, but not quite Charlie Brown style. I picked up the tree and moved it over to the VW bug, we had to drop the back seats, and aligned the tree between the two front seats…hey it smelled great in the car.

Why? Maybe the owner knows that all of the employees really need those extra wages to make sure that there are presents under the Official Fall Out Boy Unisex UFO So Much For Stardust Tour T Shirt for Christmas morning. Maybe all of the employees bought the presents days ago … using money for the utility bill that means a dark house before New Year’s Eve without some extra hours. Due to location (e.g., next to a very popular mall) it might mean that staying open on Christmas Eve is one of the biggest nights for waitstaff tipping the entire year. Most important of all. What business (in every sense of the word) is it of yours whether a dining establishment remains open on Christmas Eve? Are you a Christian theocrat? Do you advocate government control over commercial enterprises for the purpose of enforcing a given religion’s canonical dictates? If a business owner is paying employees their proper wages for that specific evening (or even holiday), you may wish to simply butt out and find something else to worry about.
