What's Going On?

What's going on?

In the past the news media and advertising have made a big deal out of the so-called, Black Friday. The day after Thanksgiving when the merchants try to entice all of us into their stores to purchase all kinds of over-priced and meaningless junk to give each other as gifts thirty days later.

This year there's a new and very much un-needed trend. The stores are open on Thanksgiving Day. I think it's called Gray Thursday. Does this mean that next year we can expect the after Christmas sales to begin on Christmas Day? Write it down that I said it's a possibility. I want everyone to remember that I said it first.
