Please do not go shopping on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, nor on Friday, Black Friday. That is the most powerful message that one can send to retailers that enough is enough. A holiday is a holiday. People who work retail are not machines. They deserve a holiday.
If you really want to be thankful, be thankful to those who work retail jobs by giving them a holiday they deserve.
I’m actually planning on trying to not shop at all from Thursday through Sunday. Maybe if stores need to be open half a day on Saturday so people could get necessities I could see that. I would rather see businesses closed for once and people just enjoying being here. Stop driving around in a frenzy and spend time outdoors on long walks. Go running. Go ride a bicycle. Visit a park, a beach, or other natural place.
Go out somewhere and sing or take and instrument (or instruments) with you and play.
The only things I might buy during this time would be some Glühwein (or chai) or perhaps some holiday ornaments or knickknacks from a street vendor.
How nice it would be to go out and enjoy a brisk evening with all the lights, or sit in some park and sip Glühwein and play music or sing.
