Black Friday is such an important day in this materialistic society that things can get out of hand.
Some instances have gotten so bad, that some people have sustained injuries from the sales. Is that new T-shirt really worth a broken limb, though?
Others even sacrificed their Thanksgiving festivities just to ensure a spot in line for when the department stores open.
Christmas now is just about what someone is getting or how much they’re getting. Nobody stops to enjoy the little things anymore. It’s all about the presents.
Christmas trees are available before Halloween is even over, and countless commercials are aired as soon as November hits.
Kids are so conditioned that all they care about when Christmas comes are the gifts.
As Americans, we live in one of the most advanced countries in the world. Other countries aren’t as lucky, though, and some people can’t even buy gifts for loved ones.
Some Americans can’t afford a nice Christmas either. They celebrate with each other and appreciate being together.
More people need to start doing this. Christmas shouldn’t be about if someone got the new iPhone or those new boots he or she wanted.
While it is nice that the majority of people can afford nice gifts for loved ones, it shouldn’t be the main focus of the holiday.
People can be so selfish around this time of year and it’s absolutely ridiculous. They should have some appreciation and thankfulness for what they do have.
In 10 years, literally no one is going to care about those Doc Martens or that Apple laptop.
