I worked for a video store that was open 365 days a year and believe it or not yes we were busy on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. I hated when people came in saying it is so sad you have to work on a holiday. I justed wanted to say if people wouldn't come in - we wouldn't have to be open.
As long as they can make money - stores will be open. Stay home and be with your families at least these few days a year.
