Shopping on Thanksgiving Rant

This shopping thing has been going on for a while but this year is reaching new heights of absurdity and stupidity. Everybody should have the day off, period. Used to be they waited until after Thanksgiving to start pushing stuff for Christmas, this year it seems like it started right after Halloween.

This earlier Christmas push was even the subject of a recent SNL skit that had Keenan Thompson running around tearing down Christmas decorations and shouting "not yet! it's too early! wait til after thanksgiving!"
