Black Friday: The Death of Thanksgiving

So, I was just informed by my girlfriend who has a cousin that works at Best Buy, that customers were lined up outside their building since 9:30 am Thanksgiving morning. This just brings me back to the comment I made in the Discussion Board the other day. Capitalism and Consumerism is killing the holiday spirit. Instead of celebrating with their families, people waste an entire day just to be the first in line at some mega sales event, which is put on just so the corporations can make tons of more money than they already have. It's like the don't even care about the holidays, or the fact that these corporations and business are forcing their employees to lose out on their own holiday's with their families, so they can be up early on Black Friday, or in the case of Kmart,who was open yesterday, miss out on thanksgiving day.

Instead of lining up outside at early morning hours, people should boycott so those employees can still have a holiday, and see their families. Its not their fault that they have to work minimal wage jobs just to get by in this expensive world, which only gets more and more expensive each day.
