Robbing Thanksgiving


Many people will not be able to enjoy their Thanksgivings normally due to having to work. They will not have the opportunity to relax and spend time with their families. Is this fair? Should people be robbed of their Thanksgivings because we all want to shop and get the best deals possible? People should all get the opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving how it is intended.

Thanksgiving is a holiday made for eating food and spending quality time with family. It is not intended for shopping and getting ready for Christmas. Many people seem to forget what Thanksgiving is all about. It is about being thankful for everything that we already have, not going out and buying more things to stuff our already overflowing homes with things that we do not need. That is why Black Friday was created. Black Friday is the day where we go shopping and get the deals for Christmas. If all the stores agreed to close on Thanksgiving, then there would be no push to be open on Thanksgiving, because no store would be trying to outdo the other. A small amount of stores have recognized he importance of Thanksgiving and have decided to close. These stores are perfect examples of how every store should treat Thanksgiving. It is a holiday, treat it like one.

People should not be robbed of their Thanksgiving because stores are opening early. Leave that for Black Friday. Thanksgiving is for family, relaxation, eating food, and remembering what we are thankful for. Not shopping and snatching the best deals. Stop robbing Thanksgiving.
