Why I Shop on Thanksgiving

There are Facebook groups you can join, stickers you can wear, and signs you can post saying that “Pledge not to shop on Thanksgiving”. Honestly, who cares? There are so many more important things to worry about than not shopping on Thanksgiving.

• Thanksgiving is not a religious day. It’s a holiday. There are a plenty of holidays that people work on. I’m more concerned about people working on days that have religious significance to them (no matter what that religion is). Thanksgiving is a great day, but it’s not a holy day.

Our Car Was Vandalized

Yesterday morning as I went to put something in the back of our SUV, I saw something etched into my vehicle. I was immediately fuming and showed Tom. I grabbed his phone and snapped a pic.

I have no idea what it says, but it’s not just some key marks. Someone took the time to stand behind my car and scratch something into it. Why? Why would someone set out to damage someone else’s property? It just completely blows my mind that people really do this. We haven’t done anything to anyone in our neighborhood that would cause someone to seek us out.
