I’ve noticed that the days we hold as sacred are beginning to change. When I was a kid, almost everything was closed on Sundays, businesses (even gas stations) were closed at night & TV stations went off the air at midnight. Some years ago we became a 24/7 society and it’s now hard to remember that it was ever any other way. A couple of years ago I realized that my kids & their friends thought Black Friday was a national holiday. And this year, most of the stores were open on Thanksgiving, so we actually slept in on Black Friday. Last week I saw where several business were actually closing for the Super Bowl.
I’m not sure what all of this means, but I suppose it says something about our changing values, and I suspect that it’s not a good thing.
