I don’t shop for Christmas because I think that commercializes it (see, I can “outholy” ALL y’all!).
But for those who want to shop, it isn’t any of my business when they do so. Should we shut down Internet shopping for today? Someone is up keeping the Internet running.
Now, I don’t have ANY problem with anyone who wants to disparage Thanksgiving shopping.
I presume those people will also avoid these non-emergency venues and services:
Gas stations
Convenience stores
Movie theaters
Restaurants
ATMs (someone has to keep them running)
Did I mention movie theaters and gas stations?
If you go to ANY of the above, you have to shut up about any other Thanksgiving day services.
(Notice I didn’t say hospitals. Sick people may avail themselves of emergency services).
Don’t forget turning on the TV, or radio. Somebody is working to beam that entertainment to you, even more folks if the entertainment is live. This new crusade against people working Thanksgiving (which is a spawn of the anti-Walmart crowd, since nobody cared until they found out the “great satan” was going to be open) lives in a lot of denial. People work Thanksgiving, always have, always will.
