Thanksgiving Controversies

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving Day tomorrow… safe travel, great food, and the company of people you enjoy.

The day used to kick-off the holiday season but this year has spawned some controversy.

  • Should Black Friday start on Thursday? 185,000 people signed an on-line petition protesting Target’s midnight opening which will ruin the day for many Target employees.
  • Will you take the pledge? “Respect the Bird”  is a growing movement of people protesting “Christmas Creep” and pledging “to not let Black Friday shopping gobble up my Thanksgiving.” (You can take the pledge here: http://respectthebird.com/p/pledge.html )
