Giving Thanks or Being Greedy






Greed seems to be at a whole new, out of control level this year among the retail industry.  Instead of seeing who can open first on Black Friday, retailers are now having a race to see who can open first on Thanksgiving.  Think of the poor people working who are missing time with their loved ones because of greed.  It makes my heart sad.  


What happened to a day to spend with family and friends and give thanks?  Thanksgiving isn't about grabbing the biggest deals, standing in lines to buy things.  Thanksgiving is about, hmmm, giving thanks.  Being grateful.  Spending time with loved ones.  Instead of going out to the stores, spend time playing games, talking, laughing, watching a movie, even start decorating for Christmas.  Make a statement, and stay out of the stores.  Spend some wonderful time with your loved ones and enjoy giving thanks!
