Black Friday shopping has become somewhat of a big deal now a days. It used to be where stores would open their doors at five or six in the morning on the day after Thanksgiving to allow people get a head start on their Christmas shopping. Now, stores are advertising that they will be opening at midnight and eleven P.M. on Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving is a time for family to be together and be thankful for what they have, not a time to trample over people and fight over who saw it first.
Thanksgiving is a time for showing people how much you appreciate them and a time to give thanks for everything you have been blessed with. People in society have turned a day of thanks into a day of competition and greed. To beat out other stores, many department stores have advertised they’re opening their doors on Thanksgiving Day as early as five P.M. Because of the new opening times, some people decide to spend their Thanksgiving Day standing in line, in freezing cold weather, instead of inside a warm house with their family, eating turkey and gravy like most people.
Greed tends to take over most people on the day after Thanksgiving; even on the day of Thanksgiving. Black Friday shopping brings out the evil in most people. All they care about it getting what they want at the lowest price possible. Even the most unselfish people can turn on you while shopping at three in the morning; it may also have something to do with sleep deprivation. People will stand in line for hours on end on Thanksgiving Day and don’t find time to sleep. Energy drinks and coffee tend to be people’s main source of energy.
Black Friday shopping isn't all bad though. Many people take advantage of the lower prices to get Christmas gifts for their loved ones at prices they can afford.
