Analysis to Thanksgiving & Black Friday

I didn’t ask my family in the middle of dinner “What happened to the Indians?” I didn’t observe the AWOL while stuffing my face or going shopping with my family the following morning. I realize that America never really looks at the history of things, we just find reasons to celebrate and get together to eat and drink and have fun. Yes it sounds selfish but that’s just the way it is. No one is celebrating the death of the Indians on this day; we are getting close to friends and family and spending quality time with one another. I don’t really see a reason for not celebrating a special time to be with family to enjoy one another. To not celebrate Thanksgiving would be completely idiotic. And to express reasons for not celebrating Thanksgiving a day before the holiday to a bunch of teens whose stomachs are growling and excited to be with family and on break is just cruel and usual punishment. Those people can sulk at home alone all they want, but they have no right to ruin it for the rest of us. As for black Friday, it’s amazing to get up early and buy what you want and what you need for cheap prices. What’s the harm in that?! Christmas is coming up, and prices are going up so… black Friday is perfect for gifts for friends, family and not to mention teachers who have a completely pessimistic outlook on America and its values. Happy Holidays :-)
