There are arguments for and against this. Although it would be nice to be closed on Thanksgiving so employees can have time off the store loses money for each day they are closed and that amount lost is not a little bit. Secondly there are families who work quit a bit sometimes intermittently on a weekend so when they have a chance to be able to shop on a day off that is also good for them.

The quest for money is not more urgent than family. Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve/Day should be mandatory holidays where no bussiness is allowed to be open period the end.

Good thing it's not up to you lol.

I think what Candle is trying to say is that Christmas and Thanksgiving have been nothing more than a giant news ad for people to go out blow their hard earned savings because your media has created that picture. They have fabricated major holidays to go spend spend spend spend spend spend money. No wonder this country is flat broke, $20 trillion in debt and the media tells us we have to spend spend spend spend spend on holidays, if not thousands of dollars, because the media tells us to. We're all sheep in this country. I agree with Candle, he's right 100%.
 
This is why I mostly hate Christmas. It's not what it used to be 100 years ago. Your government has the holidays spewing about money, and that's all it's about, spending money to buy items for people, because you "have to".

And to end it... Thanksgiving... Oh I love this. More liberal nonsense... People claiming that it's about being "thankful". No, dead wrong. Thanksgiving is about the gathering, gathering with your friends and family, showing your love for them by having a gathering with a feast; you should be thankful all year round.
 
$85 for a turkey? Who's offering the "thanks" and "giving" now? Your store giving you the "thanks", and you giving them the money.

Liberal nonsense? What the hay are you talking about? My god you even bring politics into Christmas and Thanksgiving.
The national debt has nothing to do with what we spend on Christmas.
No one says you have to buy anyone anything. If you do not have the money, do a secret Santa and put a 20$ limit on the gift. Draw names out of a hat.
85$ for a turkey? Where do you live, turkey is a couple dollars a pound, 15 - 17lb turkey should cost 99 cents a poud I just looked at an ad in the paper.
85$ would be an eighty five pound bird. That's birdzilla for gods sake.
Seriously?

You missed my point.. There is more we should be worried about than spending more than we can afford on Holidays. My bad, I used the wrong wording. My fault. No, it wasn't 85lb. I live in Indiana, near Chicago.

Bringing politics into this thread is just WRONG and against TOS. Please do your jobs Mods. How about giving some warnings out ? The same people do it all the time.

Some people like to work so they can get that extra pay 8)
