Thanksgiving no longer a holiday. Its all your fault

Well that statement got your attention.

It is that time of year again.  Retailers scampering to get your dollar.  You need to shop, they need to sell.  The Christmas music is playing and the Santa suits are out of the cleaners.  And the Ads begin.

* Open at 3 p.m. Thanksgiving Day
* Open at 8 p.m. Thanksgiving Day
* Open Midnight Thanksgiving Day

And on and on and on.

Thanksgiving is a holiday that has always brought families together, but the corporate greed to get your dollar that much quicker has taken over yet another holiday.  Millions of workers are having to give up this holiday (or loose their jobs) in order for them to get your money a day earlier.  And what happens when they open on Thanksgiving????? You fall for it and shop.  Yes its all your fault ( sort of)  As long as we the consumers show up they will open.  Do you really think that if we stop shopping on the holiday they will stop offering sales prices.  If we don't show up on Thursday, they WILL begin to offer the special price on Friday.

So this is how it plays out.  You go to shop after you eat your meal with your family and you get all these great prices on stuff.  The part that the blind consumer doesn't see is that all the cashiers/ stockers/ managers/greeters have to get there before you so they miss the family gathering so that you can shop.

If we don't show up they don't open.  If we don't show up they will return to offering those "Door Buster" prices on Friday. 

So join me in my boycott of the retailers that don't let their employees have their holiday.
