All of these sheeple lamenting what they are doing yet doing it anyway. Idiots.
It makes me sad to see that people believe they need all this stuff, and that having this stuff is more important than being with family on Thanksgiving. How absurd that this takes place on a day which is supposed to be about being thankful for what we have, not about seeking more. Patti Reekie, Did someone force you to go shopping, to leave your family and home, on Thanksgiving night? It's really simple, if you feel like you should be at home on Thanksgiving rather than out shopping, stay home. Just say no.
