Many popular stores across New York State are closing every location for one day.

Target, Walmart and Trader Joe's are just a few.

The reason is Christmas! Before you say "Bah humbug," remember these stores all have workers who, like you, also deserve the right to celebrate Christmas with their families.

Before I started working for Townsquare Media, I was the number 3 sports anchor for CBS 6 Albany. There were only three sports anchors. I was the lowest on the totem pole. This meant I was working most holidays.

One year my family had our meal early, and then I drove up to Albany to produce and anchor sports.

Thankfully, my job now gives me off on the holidays.

If you work in retail, or the food business, some places will remain open on Christmas. But many popular stores are in the Christmas spirit and are allowing all employees to enjoy the holiday with their family, by not opening for business on Christmas.
