Cassi Creek: the
annual holiday hysteria is nearly upon us.
The major chain/big box stores have decided that Thanksgiving is just
another day to lure the foolish and the easily manipulated into their
stores.
One chain is
planning to be open 41 hours on Thanksgiving and the following Friday.
As for me, I have
no intention of falling prey to such madness.
I hate mobs, I hate checkout lines, I hate Christmas muzak, and I would
rather spend my Thanksgiving cooking a duck and other goodies for Gloria and
me.
Equally
abnormal, by modern American guidelines for behavior, I will not spend my time
watching football in any form or fashion.
So until 2014
rolls around I will avoid any stores but those selling food and beverages. If enough of us do this, perhaps we can end
the annual custom of breaking down doors and trampling strangers in order to
grab the items we’ve been told we can’t live without. Join me!
