Every year people are leaving their Thanksgiving
dinner tables earlier and earlier to go out for Black Friday shopping, and
people are getting angrier and angrier. “It’s unacceptable that people are
leaving halfway through Thanksgiving dinner to go wait in lines and run around
snatching deals” they say, and I agree completely. It’s unacceptable to expect
us to wait until halfway through dinner to get up and leave, we should be
leaving much earlier than that! In fact, why don’t we eliminate the dinner and
family time altogether and spend two whole days shopping? Instead of giving
thanks for your family and your health, you can give thanks for your new,
cheap, flat screen TV and your 60% off Gucci boots.
Everyone knows family time is annoying, so why sit
down to a huge meal with these people? I say leave the goopy cranberries behind
and sprint to the big sale. If you’re still missing that delicious home cooked
meal, there’s an idea for restaurants. Kentucky fried turkey with cranberry
sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and all other beloved side dishes in little Styrofoam
cups to grab from the nearest drive-thru as you speed off to the next store on
your list. We need to open our eyes and see that our materialistic American
society doesn’t care about spending time with family or eating a home cooked
meal anymore. It’s all about being constantly on the go and buying everything
in sight.
