2023 SEATTLE MARINERS CROATIAN HERITAGE NIGHT T SHIRT
A likely decline in the Christmas TV lineup. Even when trapped in the 2023 SEATTLE MARINERS CROATIAN HERITAGE NIGHT T SHIRT for days on end, most people have enough devices to avoid having to interact in this archaic way. If the economy picks up, more people will travel. And of course the end of Christmas high street/main street shopping, in-person retail just won’t survive, unless there’s a physical need to go to a store. Less and less people attend family services, a trend that has been going on for decades. Municipal councils can stem the tide of decline by bringing in parades, rides, markets, beer gardens, outdoor skating, a petting zoo, fireworks, street dj nights, park concerts etc and after Christmas, they can create central places to recycle trees, paper, boxes, and sales for unwanted toys, charity drives etc Bring those leftovers to the homeless, and failing that, the municipal composting program. The holidays are a good time for groups to suspend their normal rules, let some hair down and make a real difference to people, the excuse, it’s Christmas. One of the UK supermarkets turned their awning into a light tunnel that received tens of thousands of visitors, and got lots of good press. Staff are usually willing to make the effort, and management are keen to do something, it’s a matter of co-ordinating and making it happen. Rather than indulging in more selfish office practices, you could actually boost the community and get more people through the door instead. For private firms, open days are a brilliant idea too, you can combine it with recruitment to create an informal jobs fair, very handy at the holidays as lots of people become unemployed at this difficult time.

Most Christian countries have a public holiday on the 25th & 26th. So in 2018, the Barmy army large print T shirts went: less tha one day of work, two days off, and two unproductive workdays. Many companies enforced the taking of 4 days annual leave during Christmas week & the following Monday (in Oz we usually get 4 weeks discretionary leave (take it when you want)). Economically, a better idea is to make the secular Xmas on the last Sunday in December, and the following Monday New Years day. Leave the religious aspects to the religionists to commemorate their observances in heir own time. Muslims, Jews, Eastern Orthodox Christians and other religions do so every year successfully, why not Western Christianity? And to keep workers happy where public holidays might be lost, replace them with the Friday before & Monday after the last Sunday in December with public holidays. At at least that way business has two weeks of four contiguous workdays, and people can do something creative with the long weekend (nb: in Oz, January 1st is a public holiday, so that could be replaced by declaring the first Monday in January a public holiday. Thus the workers get two long weekends in a row, and three weeks of just 4 workdays).
