Thanksgiving/Black friday...what gives?
15 years ago
I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself "Hold on to your heart"
Now I know the man that you are,
You're wonderful so far, and it's more than I hoped for
I guess that's something I'll never understand.
What's so important about it? You eat turkey and stuff. So what? I've never had family, I don't know the importance of spending time with them. I never will probably cuz I probably won't ever have a "family". The only "family" I have is up in canada or connecticut, I don't even know, and they don't even speak english or know who I am.
What's so important about it? I'd much rather just spend the day hanging with friends like any normal day rather than eating until my stomach hurts and then sleeping afterwards.
And then black friday. I've always been poor so I've never cared or paid attention to it. I've always heard you have to be incredibly lucky to even get in on the sales because the lines are so long.
So what's so upsetting about not being able to do either/both? I'd just be thankful I have a roof over my head and clothes on my body, and that I'm spending the supposed holiday (though I don't even see it as much of a holiday) with someone I care about.
Sigh. Wish I could understand.

Things get stupidly cheap on Friday. I have been holding out on buying a tv these last couple of months thinking that I could get a crazy deal this weekend.
In 1789, following a proclamation issued by President George Washington, America celebrated its first Day of Thanksgiving to God under its new constitution. That same year, the Protestant Episcopal Church, of which President Washington was a member, announced that the first Thursday in November would become its regular day for giving thanks, "unless another day be appointed by the civil authorities." Yet, despite these early national proclamations, official Thanksgiving observances usually occurred only at the State level. - There is more too this but I am not gonna post it all
Also everyone should be Thankful for there freedom that we have in this country-(trust me go to any other country and they do not have what we have) - being a military man myself and all - nowadays we take everything for granted and just need to take a step back and be thankful for what we have. Just my opinion
