Yeah I don't understand the thinking myself either. I mean you DO have a whole month to get your Christmas shopping done and you had this whole past year if you plan ahead really. I have 2 presents already and I'm making a third. I make half of my presents it makes it more personal, thoughtful, and I'm not at the mercy of commericalism. Even if I were to buy everything which I HAVE done I cannot imagine the urgency to be there so early in the day and go through such crowding. I don't enjoy crowds that much unless I'm able to be somewhat removed and people watch. Hubby and I went this evening to Menards for a bathroom fan for our house. We got one thing, shopped the wood furnaces and fireplaces, and left. Didn't face big crowds, had 2 people in line in front of us, and came home content. Content - I think that's the key word here. Are these people content with what they have and can find? I think that kind of urgency and blatent greed is so completely opposite to Thanksgiving. How can people be all "thankful" one day and the next heartlessly greedy?? It's unfathomable.
