My dad just came in the office and told me that he has called all of the nicer places in town and none of them are opening for Christmas because of the economy. The only place open will be Denny's! (I think we will be eating at home, lol!) That is really amazing to me, these are very established restaurants, who have long histories of serving on holidays.
Wow, that's really amazing! Nowadays people don't even know how to cook, so that has to be a major bummer!

My daughter's business is not getting the money she made last year. Her first week she was behind $10K. She said all the other stores in the strip were busy. I said, "There is no way those people are doing better than you are."

She finally went to one of the shops and asked her friend how she was doing this year. She said, "It will be a miracle if I make anything close to last year. We are all suffering."
