Let's all Christmas shop on Thursday!

Why? Because it's not like there's anything else to do! Don't relax during dinner. Doh have that extra piece of pie.  Don't spend this few frustrating minutes with grandma. Go shop. That's a far better way to spend those few moments.
I'm sure the clerk at the gap outlet doesn't want to be with their family either. Who does? Why worry? Grab those deals, get those bargains. That 5 dollar polar fleece is worth more than those 5 minutes with uncle Albert, he'll be there tomorrow. Right? Right?
Please. Spend your holiday at home. Your child can live happily without that whatever toy, but once the moment is gone, it's gone.
East the pie, forget the Patagonia. Play an actual on a board board game, teach your child what a board game is, it's what we called Google play! You can never get these moments back, nether can the Walmart cashier who is making your change after your good awful hour shopping spree.
The thing is, if we don't shop, they will have to find another day for their black Friday, to make their millions, and it won't involve giving up our family time.
