Greed Trumps Giving?

Are you as angry as I am at the number of stores which are staying open on Thanksgiving Day and getting a head start on black Friday?? Apparently Kmart has been open on Thanksgiving for the last few years (I didn’t know that), but now I hear ads for Sears opening all day on Thanksgiving and Target opening at midnight. I’m fairly certain the malls can’t be far behind. Why can’t this nation allow for one day to set aside commerce and concentrate instead on family and gratitude?? But merchants want to be first in line to grab the Christmas dollars right out of our fists and lead our country even farther afield, away from a sense of gratefulness and family as the center of our lives. We can’t allow this to happen. If you believe as I do, write your newspapers, stay out of the stores, encourage your friends to do the same! We have to protect this sacred day from commercial piracy!
