Black Friday

Black Friday has become huge in our culture. So huge, in fact, that it is now becoming Black Thursday as well! Advertising is now taking over Thanksgiving day and making more employees work so that each child can have exactly what they want for Christmas. I think it is pretty sad how huge this has all gotten. Instead of Thanksgiving being a day to express how grateful we all are, people will be spending the day in lines and in stores thinking about gifts for others and for themselves. I am one of those people who has gone shopping midnight on Thanksgiving in order to get the good deals, but this year I really only want baby stuff, and if you look through ads they are really lacking useful baby stuff. I may or may not go shopping this weekend, but I will not be one of the people who are camping out. Truly, people are currently (and have been for a few days) camping outside of Best Buy. Instead of spending a nice Thanksgiving meal with their family and thinking of all of their blessings, they will be thinking of what they can get more of.
