Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving

My thanksgiving was out of the ordinary compared to the past years. I was separated from my mother and step -father this year and I was with my uncle. Since I am very close with him and consider him “ cool” I realized how it felt to be without the people I spend my everyday with for a holiday and it was just different. Not only that but I spend the morning and afternoon helping out at my grandmothers church to feed the homeless. When I saw so many people that were homeless and didn’t have money to provide their families with a thanksgiving dinner it actually made me more thankful. It had been packed all day and was a sad sight to see. It was very eye opening and showed me the large amount of poverty in America today, but it was a good feeling to help out, even though it was for that one day.

Black Friday

For black Friday I didn’t really go out and shop at all. I knew that all of the store would be crowded and all the stores I usually shopped at didn’t have sales for black Friday. I did however go to the movie theatre to see the movie Twilight, and ate out at restaurants most of that day, but I wouldn’t consider that black Friday spending. Later on that night though I was watching the news and I saw some stories on the craze that was black Friday. Pregnant woman were sent to the hospital and a man was even trampleled to death at a Wal-Mart. People spent their days fighting over cheap goods and it just makes me wonder what this world is coming to. Its crazy how now more than ever people are scrambling to attain goods at a cheaper price, and it shows how far some people would go to get things for a cheaper price.
