Xmas openings????
I have seen a few comments on here about stores being open Xmas day. Is this guesswork or has there been any communication from Corp? Last year iirc they did't tell us about Thanksgiving until they had to.

Bungee Jumping
...scary, reckless even, but there's no greater sense of spontaneity and freedom, that is except perhaps disembarking from Staples drone to enriched human being. Resigned, and it feels so good! Just had to pay this forum my respect since I will no... — read more
