Whether you love it or hate it, looks like Black Friday is destined to be around for the long haul.
The continued growth of Black Friday sales have sparked controversy in recent years, with employees of some major retail stores complaining about having to work long hours on Thanksgiving Day. While those complaints have caused many stores to change their holiday schedules, the fact remains that you will find a lot of stores opening their doors early yet this Thanksgiving--among them, Bass Pro Shops in Hampton. Their advertised store hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving and 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Black Friday.
If you're among those who insist on going out there and mixing it up with the masses for those sales, this verse is designed just for you:
Black Friday, The Shopping Poem
By John F. McCullagh
The people crowd the entrances
at Malls all over town.
To seize the choicest bargain deals,
They'll gladly knock you down.
The retailers all hold their breath
As shopping gets in gear.
Will Santa fill his sleigh as hoped...?
Or lay off more Reindeer?
There are plastic toys from China
Colored with suspicious paint.
Whip our your last credit card
(When you see the bills, you'll faint.)
"The children must have Christmas!"
No request will be denied.
Never mind your youngest child
Has just turned thirty-five.
Don't forget a gift for you
Don't you deserve the best?
Shopping is such good therapy
For the financially depressed.
