Category Archives: Shopping on Thanksgving

I think it is good for all of us to take some time to consider our blessings and to show our thankfulness at least one day a year. Having said that...I am a supporter of personal choices, and I understand the economic pressure on business.  As a nurse, I have worked many Thanksgivings, and depending…

Priorities are usually a combination of principles, timing, and resources. I guess if you need the over time to feed the family, I'd be grateful for the ability to do that on any day. If I'm the turkey I'd ask the chic fil a cows how to have attention go to the pig. CFA manages…

I try not to shop on Thanksgiving Day.  I think employees need a day with their families.  The cashier at the grocery store this morning told me that they probably would not get to leave Thursday until 3:30 p.m.  I have shopped on Thanksgiving afternoon before, just to escape all the football games sometimes when my…

"To shop or not to shop" ... in a free country you have that choice and that is how it should be, is my personal opinion.  Many companies pay time and a half for those working a holiday ... as a once upon a time hourly employee who was young and single and far from home…

The last thing I want to do the day after Thanksgiving is to go shopping for Christmas gifts or shop for anything in general.  Not that I don't love to shop; I did work in the fashion industry most of my career. When I was much younger I did look forward to black Friday and the opportunity…

Thanksgiving Day is a time for family and counting our Blessings.  I understand the need for sales and bargains especially in the economic times that we are in but families have been in those times as well as the stores quite a few times since this great Country was founded.  Somehow through it all we…

It's up to the individual whether to shop on Thanksgiving Day and the shopkeeper whether to open to shoppers. I'm thankful for the freedom we have to make those decisions without government interference.

Oh, you are asking this of a true conservative.  The cultural battle boils down to one between what I consider "good and evil."  Now, I won't elaborate on that, but let's just say that America has been drifting away from Biblical values (on which our country was founded) since the 1960's, and this battle has…
