Thanksgiving

So here is a few thoughts about what Thanksgiving used to be and what it is now.
  THEN

• In 1620 a ship with 100 people on landed in the Massachusetts Bay
• Only half of the original passengers survived
• An Indian came and taught the people how to grow food
• By the fall they harvested their crop, thanked God and ate.
• Thanksgiving wasn't a national holiday till 1863 when Lincoln scheduled Thanksgiving to be the last Thursday in November

Then it started to change...

• In 1939 Franklin D. Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving up a week to spur retail sales, BUT people then were outraged! So it got moved back.

TODAY!

• Starting the day after Halloween, Christmas crap starts to come out
• On Thanksgiving day, people stuff themselves till they puke while planing their shopping trip for late that night.
• Stores try and outdo each other by opening earlier and staying open longer
• People trample each other trying to get the best deal

here is a recap
THEN

NOW...

HAPPY STUFFING YOUR FACE SALE DAY!!!
