I was reading through your earlier posts and saw this one. You really expressed exactly the same feelings that I have. I feel the same way about Christmas. All of our American holidays have become entirely too commercial. It seems we have forgotten what these special days were set aside to commemorate, and it was not buying 'things', watching sports or taking holidays. It was to celebrate family, cultural beliefs & a time to count our blessings. I'm with you in seeing our once great country return to the values of our forefathers, and those things that did indeed make us a great country & one where everybody seemed to want to immigrate to live. Thanks for this well-written post.

I hate black friday crap, it's stupid and there really isn't all that great of deals out there in my opinion to even make it worth going through black friday shopping. I went one time at the instance of my cousin's wife and let me tell you that was my first and last time ever going again. People act like they are nuts, no manners or anything. No I will stay at home with my family enjoying my home cooked meal and visiting. I don't think any store should be open and I don't believe in black friday. They can take it and stick it where the sun doesn't shine. lolBrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555452421297088756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736205788725844139.post-68829999292424647732013-11-29T10:01:23.280-06:002013-11-29T10:01:23.280-06:00Amen, Linda! We all need to be more thankful and ...Amen, Linda! We all need to be more thankful and put off the "what can I get" attitude. It really is a tragedy that we are pushed into the greed mode sooner. I think we all need to step back and be more thankful, much more. Hope your day was great!<br />TK Watson Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
