Thanksgiving

After the talk in class last week about thanksgiving and the reading I had a thought.  How is it that we spend a whole day/evening giving thanks for everything that we have.  On thanksgiving we are thankful for the food on the table, for the company at the table, for everything that we own.  Less than 8 hours after giving thanks, we have one of the biggest shopping days of the year.  People get trampled to death to consume the best deals in the store.  The way that consumers behavior changes from one day to the next is and can be very drastic.
