Random Thought #197

You know as each year passes and Black Friday rolls around, it seems like the deals just start earlier and earlier. There are online deals sometimes weeks in advance and many of the brick and mortar stores start their Black Friday deals thursday night. Many would claim that this is destroying the holiday of Thanksgiving, as if Christmas hadn't done that already. I actually think its a good thing. Think of the insanity of spending endless hours out in the cold, away from your family, staying up late, fighting the crowds, stressing over whether you'll get the deals you want. Now, I can just get pretty much whatever I want online ahead of Thanksgiving and Black Friday and then get back to enjoying Thanksgiving the way it was intended; with family, friends, and other loves ones and focus on being thankful for the many blessings with which we've been blessed.
