I had a minor conniption when I slowly realized that all stores would be closed between 4PM on the 24th through 6AM on the 26th. OH MY GOD what if I ran out of milk, or something I stupidly forgot. Then I got a hold of myself and looked in the fridge and pantry - whatever it was, it could wait, there are plenty of substitutes. I feel that we Americans are over-acclimated and conditioned to want and get the specific thing and quickly, we're eroding our ability to adapt, be inventive, think different. It's very convenient here, then I spend time in Europe and I was always surprised to rediscover that most shops close after 6, you can show up in the middle of the day to a shop and there will be a sign saying they're closed for 2 weeks, or back in 2 hours. It was perplexing to try and find a Paris restaurant opened Sunday evening, because why wouldn't you be opened for diners on the weekend? That's when people go out, is it not? Not sure if I would make the trade, there's something to be said for the convenience of being able to shop outside a very strict window of retail hours.
