Thanksgiving used to be a time of reflection on how thankful we were and to celebrate that thankfulness with a dinner from the bounty of the land and garden. Today's culture overshadows that with the beginning of the Christmas buying frenzy. I personally have never participated in Black Friday buying. <br /><br />Have a great Thanksgiving day celebration.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928117252460676054.post-36342408235767112502015-11-26T09:00:28.020-05:002015-11-26T09:00:28.020-05:00I work in retail now.

I'm also realizing how counter to our culture it is not to buy my kid crazy amounts of gifts. At least my kid is the happiest kid I have ever met.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391404887283031394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928117252460676054.post-28425743942019033342015-11-25T11:41:47.424-05:002015-11-25T11:41:47.424-05:00Shona, I was recently reading about how the Great ...Shona, I was recently reading about how the Great Depression was triggered by an over production in goods. The long-term solution to avoid another such depression was marketing and advertising! Make people over consume and over production will never be a problem.

I imagine marketing execs with smiles on their faces. <br /><br />Enjoy moderation tomorrow.Shona~ LALA dex presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07997153789350766344noreply@blogger.com
