War on Thanksgiving

I avoid stores on Black Friday. Whatever they are selling at whatever price simply isn't worth the hassle of the crowds. Though I am considering a movie tomorrow afternoon… At a small theater. Not attached to a mall.

Josh Eidelson of Salon notes that the same people who get into a snit every year in what is now known as the War on Christmas seem quite unperturbed that the commercialization of Christmas has resulted in a War on Thanksgiving. Yeah, Black Friday now begins at 6 am Thursday morning. It also seems that many of the stores that insist they are selling you Christmas presents and not Holiday gifts are the ones opening on Thanksgiving day.
