Modern Thanksgiving checklist:

Modern Thanksgiving checklist:
[ ] Family
[ ] Friends
[ ] Food
[ ] chainsaw to cut swath through hordes of shoppers to get what I want
Black Friday is the anti-holiday. I hate it with a perfect hatred.

It's an abomination, whether I am looking at it from a Christian standpoint or not. It elevates greed to insane levels. If there is a god of Black Friday, it's Loki.

What's wrong with it? Beyond the obvious (making greed a virtue and people treating each other like scum to get what they want a few bucks cheaper), it's not even good for the economy. It forces merchants and manufacturers to focus too much on a single day and it forces people to work unnecessarily over the holidays.

It makes a total mockery of Thanksgiving.

Boycott Black Friday!
