Black Friday stole my soul.

As it was my second year working retail for Black Friday, I say I hate every thing about it.

The fact that the day before [now hours after] was thanksgiving. 

A day specifically set aside to sit with your family and friends and be thankful for the things that you have been blessed with.

It's almost like,

"I'm thankful for blah blah, but I want more!" 

I don't see the point in that at all.

What I also don't understand is people who rush Christmas.

Hold your bloody horses people.

Atleast wait until thanksgiving has past to put up your Christmas lights and decorate.

Christmas is to celebrate the birth of our lord and savior. 

It's not about the gifts

Or the lights

Or the tree

Or even the food.

It's to give Jesus the glory.

To be thankful, 

(Or have you given all your thanks on thanksgiving?) 

For the life of Jesus Christ who came to this earth already knowing that he was going to be beaten and hung on a cross 

By the people he unconditionally loved.

Just for our sins.

 

I have seen the greed seeping through my customers pores.

I have witnessed people leave their families just to buy a couple of clothes that were "on sale".

Hate to break it to you, but they will be on sale later this year too.

I worked 18 hours straight Friday.

5am-11pm.

Never again.
