Our family doesn’t go anywhere near shopping centers or malls on Black Friday, and we have always assumed that everything is closed on Thanksgiving Day.

However, considering that so many Americans no longer seem to have any regard for God or His blessings on this country and those who live here, it is probably right and proper for the stores to be open. In fact, I am close to suggesting that those who do not believe that we owe any thanks to God work through the holiday whatever your occupation. What are you celebrating?

I celebrate Thanksgiving, and I'm thankful that I don't have a job which requires me to work that day. Many people do have jobs which require them to work, and at least one person I know is thankful he has a job and appreciates the extra hours. My point regarding Matt is why should retail employees have special status when so many others (restaurant workers, hotel workers, airline workers, healthcare workers, emergency services workers, and deployed military) have to work?

It isn’t that... some people who got jobs HAVE to be working that day. My oldest son’s friend got to work at Wal-Mart that day. He is 16 but since his dad got laid off, he helps with his job. His mom works at Best Buy and she is working, too.yh
