Have we lost the charm of those things from the past? Replaced it with hype and crassness and downright greed. The stores now compete to open earlier each year on Black Friday (named because most of them make it into “the black” that day and it represents the turn from red ink to profit for the entire year) and the customers … WTF! Since when is it considered charming or even good manners to stampede into a store, trampling your fellow shoppers, and to actually fight over the merchandise?
What is it with this time of yr. That turns so many in to loonies ?
I support the proposal that we make and will make it each successive year at this time, in the hope that the movement to take pack Thanksgiving and Christmas will grow and thrive: Let us take back our holidays! Let’s NOT do ANY shopping on Black Friday, anywhere!( I wont not just because I am broke) and if you must go to the mom and pop shops or local small business store.
If you look at the circulars the prices are good from the Monday before Thanksgiving, all the way through the weekend most of the time.
Let’s tell the big corporations that we refuse to be rushed into Christmas. We refuse to be commercialized and reduced to a greedy mob. take back Thanksgiving.
The biggest problem I have with the hole holiday madness is it was the season of cheer. If you ever worked in or around retail you may know what I mean. Seems like ever year I see more and more people getting into that mad rush of the Got to Gets!
Got to get the right thing for the right persons. Got to get up early so you can get to this place or that,then head to work, then got to get by somewhere on the way home to get something has got to be gotten.All the time looking to our day or days off just so we can get out in to the mad rush to get more stuff so we can get more done.
The adds that the big corporations put out to try to brain wash everyone they can are no help. Telling us that we are not with the in crowed if we don't have there product 'wear there cloths look a certain way smell like a supermodel or celebrity. Lets not forget the ATTACK they put on the kids! Hell it starts before they are even out of dippers!
HAPPY THANKS GIVING from
