Money Talks

Okay, so can we spend a minute and talk about the fact that Black Friday has taken over a holiday that used to be about celebrating togetherness and family, and turned it into a free-for-all of fights and mobs hunting for the best deal on presents for another holiday...

What is this...

It's completely disgusting and appalling...

To the stores that closed for Thanksgiving to let their employees be with their families, Thank You. You know the true meaning of this holiday.

Money truly talks because stores open earlier and earlier every year to give their shoppers more time to cash in on the store wide deals. But the entire point of this holiday is to be thankful for all that we have in our lives, not to go buy more stuff. The deals are nice, but I for one spent Black Friday and Thanksgiving day with my family instead of out in the stores.

Money speaks and I refuse to spend in department stores on these days despite the deals, because I want my purchases to speak against forcing employees to be away from their families so that I can buy my Christmas gifts a month early. I refuse to be the reason those employees have to be at work at 2am when they should be at home resting for the busy season ahead. It's hardly fair for us all to have the freedom to be with our families on the holidays, but for the store employees to be forced to work extra hours on our behalf.

Tis the season, so be nice to them. They deserve to be home with their families too.
