Tomorrow we gather will gather to have thanksgiving dinner together, as we should spend time with our families. But a growing number of stores are attempting to put greed before family. For several years grocery stores have been upon for limited hours on Thanksgiving, but department stores have been closed. Now a number of grocery stores have found customers still come in on Thanksgiving, so they have extended the hours they are open that day. Some not even closing early at all. However, it is the department stores that concern me more. There are a group of stores that are banking that you will leave your family and shop their stores on Thanksgiving. This is a disgrace. Thanksgiving is sacred. It is a time for families to get together and be thankful for what they have. Something we really should be doing everyday of our lives. My suggestion, ignore the stores. Don't let them be profitable on Thanksgiving day. If they see that sales are poor, they will return to the family and traditional black Friday sales. Don't let these greedy department stores destroy the family anymore then they already are.
In addition, Thanksgiving is reportedly the number one (1) day for phone calls. However, i wonder what they are talking about? Are they calls of thanksgiving or just chit chat because it is Thanksgiving Day? Here is an idea. Why not call someone you haven't talked to forever and offer thanks for something they have done.
Example:
- Call your fourth grade teacher and thank her for teaching you science. Because of her you became Molecular Biologist.
- Call your best friend in high school and thank them for being a friend during those years.
- What other ideas do you have? Why not make those calls (assuming they are still living) and offer thanks to someone this thanksgiving.?
In conclusion I would like to say Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for reading my blog.
