As Alfred, the 1947 fictitious Macy janitor stated in the Movie Miracle on 34th Street: “Yeah, there’s a lot of bad ‘isms’ floatin’ around this world, but one of the worst is commercialism. Make a buck.”
The above photo was snapped two days before Thanksgiving. Two days! Did these families have nothin’ better to do than line up for discounts?
Worse, the noise from kids playing in different tents could be heard. Children should be celebrating with family and not lining up to buy product. These people are foolish; This is not how to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Today- forget sales. Cook, eat, laugh, and be safe in the knowledge that you are surrounded by love.
Happy Thanksgiving. May your hearts be warmed with hugs from friends and family.
