Oh dear. It sounds like Blogger B is insanely jealous of Blogger A’s much larger readership.
Kind of makes Walsh's point, doesn't it? It's about consumerism.
Just started reading Walsh’s stuff and wish I had found him sooner.
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?
Also, if you don’t get the people in the store during this time of year, the store might not be there next year. Lots of stores close because of bad Christmas seasons in the last 10 years.
This was needlessly snippy. I agree. I won’t shop on Thanksgiving, just to save a few bucks, there’s a line, and for me, that one is it.
Or we need to go out because of big sales?
Or because watching football at home with family is the same as scattering to the four winds to go shopping?
The author is an idiot. Give thanks. Stay home. Eat. Enjoy family. Above all, take this one day to show thanks to God and those you love. Is one day too much to ask for?
Just because things are on sale and stores will be open, that doesn't mean that you have to blindly drag yourself away from family and God to partake of the retail experience.
Pray to Black Jesus, then.
