I am writing this a few hours before Thanksgiving . On Thanksgiving, I will give thanks to God for the bountiful blesses in the past year include living in the United States, in which I have the freedom to chose for myself whether to shop on Thanksgiving or not or where to seek work. Also, we have to freedom to ignore group of twits, war on Thanksgiving pundits, and boycott Black Friday protesters. If I want to shop Wal-Mart or a big box corporate own store then ideal with it.
I know some who don’t mind working on Thanksgiving, liking the double time; think extra money for Christmas. As for shoppers, some of us do not have families or go home for Thanksgiving (I prefer to save my limited funds for Christmas). For others, Thanksgiving dinner over by 5:00pm why not go out shopping that being bored to death by family members.
Again this is America where we have a right to be a “gluttonous, materialistic shopper” with our own wallet, and the self-righteous twits can bug off. I might go out on thanksgiving shopping just to tweak them.
