Macy's, JcPenny, Target, Sears, Kmart and more will be open on Thanksgiving Day. I don't know why they even bother to call it Thanksgiving anymore. Why don't they just call it, the day before you buy stuff for people that they don't need. And be done with it.
I know this has been going on for a long time now. I don't shop on black Friday because I can't stand crowds, plus I can't stand the, "I have to have this at this cheap price, it doesn't matter who I trample and kill to get it. It doesn't matter that some person can't have some time with their family, as long as I get this huge big screen TV for my over weight video game addicted 12 year old." I know that's not always the case, but seriously, are we that me centered that we can't let the people who work in retail have Thanksgiving Day off? I remember going on our trips to my Grandma's an hour away, everything was closed, you might find a convenience store or gas station open, but there would be no grocery stores or retail stores open. If you didn't have it and couldn't find it at something that was open, then oh well.
It makes me sad to see what this country values as important. We've been on this decline since and before the Cabbage Patch kid days. That's when most of this madness started, I think it was 1984 or 1985, I was 14 or 15 and people were hurting each other to get these fat faced ugly dolls. I still can't stand those dolls. If you're going to kill your neighbor for a toy make it at least a cool toy like a Nintendo or a Barbie that dances.
Oh Lord help us get our priorities straight in this country!
Sorry for the long drawn out speach. If I am ever president there won't be anything open on holiday's period!
