Seasonal Nonsense Redux

So you might remember my Seasonal Nonsense post of not so long ago. Imagine my surprise (and imagine you will have to seeing as it is non-existent) to read that Christmas sales have picked up with people doing lots of Christmas shopping this past weekend. I enjoy the various theories as to why people have been doing there shopping so close to Christmas. It's because Christmas is on a Tuesday, meaning most people have a 3-day weekend beforehand in which to to their shopping. It's like a 3-day Christmas Eve. If you didn't manage to find that specific gift you wanted to get on Christmas Eve 1 (Saturday) you can always look for it on Christmas Eve 2, and even Christmas Eve 3.

Christmas should always be on a Tuesday in my opinion.
