Yes, it’s the day before the most insane shopping holiday of the year. A day to eat as much food as you can before hitting the bitter cold streets at 3am tomorrow morning. Preparing to get the first spots in line for cheap products at retail stores for stocking stuffers, also known as the junk they haven’t been able to sell for the past year. The holiday that celebrates a harvest to kick start the shopping sales for a more important holiday, christmas. Can you tell I work in retail? Black Friday lingers in the back of my mind throughout the day as I enjoy my turkey and ham and wonder how I’m going to crawl out of bed tomorrow to be at work at 5:30 am. But spending time with my family is incalculable in value. Thanksgiving is truely a celebration of harvest, a feast of gratitude and thanks. I am truely thankful for everything that has made an impact in my life, especially in recent days when my financial situation has burned the pockets from my pants.
May you all have a Happy Thanksgiving.
