"Black Friday: Because only in America, people trample each other for sales exactly one day after being thankful for what they already have."
If you are on facebook you have surely seen these quirky, snarky ecards. They make me chuckle, but this one hit a nerve. This particular ecard made me sad because it's true.
I have also been seeing posts on facebook about what people are thankful for. I have yet to see a post about being thankful for the things people bought last year on black Friday. I do see people thankful for family, health, and the little things in life.
I'm not saying we shouldn't shop, but maybe instead of trampling each other the day after we can keep being thankful and consider giving in a different way for a different purpose.
