Historical Context

In 1992, major U.S. retailers like Walmart and Target began extending holiday hours to meet rising consumer demand, with Walmart reporting $67 billion in sales that year. This shift towards convenience marked the start of a trend where retailers, including Best Buy and Macy's, now open on Christmas Eve, reflecting a cultural change prioritizing consumer accessibility over traditional holiday observance.
