Christmas in November?



This cartoon reminds me of how crazy retailers are about Christmas shopping. Many have gone black-Friday-overboard by actually opening on Thanksgiving Day.

You can ask my wife and she will tell you that I am usually not an advocate of shutting down stores on Sundays and most holidays (like Veterans Day or Labor Day) but really.

Isn't Thanksgiving more about being with Family and remembering our blessings? Shouldn't the day be one where employees have an opportunity to be with Family?

  1. With you. I used to trade cars every fourth or fifth Veterans Day; but shopping on Thanksgiving is definitely some sort of sacrilege.

  4. Yes, they need to wait. Let Thanksgiving have it's day. Of course this year, because I will be travel the entire week after Thanksgiving I have decided to put up my trees. That other decorations I will work on later but with 900+ ornaments I would be too stressed if I waited until I get back from my trip. I know that in the stores they can't help but put out Christmas because there just isn't anything to see for Thanksgiving so all the Christmas goes out after Halloween.
