Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks to family, health,and life in general. However, Black Friday has turned it into business.
Traditionally, the true value of Thanksgiving lies in home not the shopping centers. However, Black Friday has nowadays allowed society to ignore this as individuals long for something that they do not need or even truly want. ① Shopping on Black Friday becomes a sign of a shift to a culture that values material wealth over spending time with loved ones. People are willing to force their way through the crowds in their desperate search of marked-down sweaters and necklaces.

In recent years, Thanksgiving has become a pre-Black Friday holiday for many families. They are devoted to mapping out shopping routes and making organized schedules for which stores to hit first. By drawing individuals out to shopping centers with “matchless saving”,businesses encourage this behavior of ignoring Thanksgiving. Many families take their home-cooked meals while camping out at the door of shopping centers. With each new year, Thanksgiving is becoming the victim of overcommercialization—switching from a meaningful time for family to a day dedicated to products and profits.

Black Friday has shown that by current common standards, people cannot even set aside a single day to appreciate what they already have without immediately buying more. ②Families have lost sight of what is truly important in life, and have found reasons for debating between a low-cost HD television and appreciation for what they already have. Remember that Thanksgiving should be a day on which people are grateful for all that they have.
