Thanksgiving Season

Well it seems that the semester is flying by, and before we know it, our portfolios will be done and it will be good timese with the family. America has gotten ahead of itself, with Christmas music being played since November 1st, everyone is just ready to move on to the day of gift giving. This may be a cliche topic, but honestly, is it the people to blame for this, or the corporate companies? The advertisements are all over television and the radio, where it's beyond important to get all the gifts early, and with Walmart constantly cutting it's prices, other stores are having difficulty competing. I support competition, but when a store is purposefully trying to to undermine other people and their business, it seems unfair. Thanksgiving has lost it's touch, now it's more about food than anything else, but on the bright side it gives families another reason to be together. I don't know if we should be proud of persecuting the Native Americans, taking their land, and bring new disease into their territory, but I guess it's too late to fight it now, and all we can do is celebrate.
