It seems this year that there has been a lot of controversy about Thanksgiving Day. The question of controversy is whether or not Christmas music, decoration, etc... should be setup or played before Thanksgiving. It is a fair question and should be asked, because so often we skip over Thanksgiving and go straight to Christmas. I think people ask this question because they want to remember what they are thankful for and in today's economy, people see a lot to be thankful for. But that is not what I am as interested in. What I see as so ironic is that the day we are supposed to remember what we are thankful for, is followed by one of the biggest days of violence and greed that stores see across the nations. On Black Friday people are injured and killed trying to purchase stuff to satisfy their "needs". The day that we sit down and think upon all that we are thankful for is followed by the day where we go and purchase stuff to satisfy our wants. Kinda ironic isn't it?
