Which Retail Stores Are Helping to Destroy Thanksgiving?

1. A labor law that could help curb this (or at least make it sting a little less for the employees)

require commercial businesses to pay employees double or triple time if they work on federal holidays. There are only 12 of them a year and, perhaps, it would lead to people actually recognizing the holidays and not the sales that surround them. Me personally, I take offense at sales on Memorial Day and to a lesser extent Veterans day.

I'm glad I fought, faced struggles, and lost friends on a misguided war in Iraq so that hordes of shoppers could get great deals on electronics and mattresses on a day that is supposed to recognize the pain I feel for our military's often pointless sacrifice
