But also think of all the other holidays that just aren't recognized really anymore.
I'm amazed at the amount of stores and businesses open on Thanksgiving and even Christmas now and just close early. It sickens me a bit the more and more we lose ourselves.
Most companies (like mine) today only recognize 5 US national holidays. When I look at the international branches, those countries recognize an astounding amount more, even our branches in Japan. but I'm a bit off topic now...
I actually throw up a little in my mouth every time I hear "memorial day sale" or "Veterans day sale" or whatever <insert> sale.
I don't know about the whole nation but since when did Halloween becoming like a month and a half event. I mean the Halloween stores and decore shows up in mid September.
Don't let Black Friday get you down.. its just another stupid artificial holiday to sell you stuff that will be on sale at a later date or somewhere else anyway. For some its a "sport"
I wonder how many casualties there will be this year. |
I totally agree, I think it's rather repulsive that the American government has allowed it's society to be so lax about rememberance and such. It's offensive to me as a family member of a deceased Veteran that people make such a big deal out of
shopping when it's time to remember those who gave their life for our country...
Yes, I also find it strange that there's a huge time period for Halloween...I dress up and all, but I find it rediculous to be so elaborate...
I don't think I want to know the calsualty toll this year...
