I just saw a commercial for Walmart in which they promoted their Black Friday shopping deals, and in particular the fact that the deals actually start at 6.00 p.m. "Thursday." The commercial was over before I realized that although it talked about shopping on Black Friday and on "Thursday," never once did it acknowledge that the Thursday they were talking about is, in fact, Thanksgiving Day.
Please, please, please don't go shopping on Thanksgiving Day. If we all stay home, pretty soon it won't be worth it for brick-and-mortar stores to open on the holiday and all their employees will be able to celebrate Thanksgiving in whatever way they choose.
Really. Don't go shopping on Thanksgiving.
Note: this post has been corrected. In the first sentence I originally referred to "Good" Friday. I meant Black Friday, of course.
