Spend time laughing, loving and sharing with those you find yourself surrounded with today.
And please keep in mind and support those underpaid over-worked employees at Wal-Mart who are risking their jobs by going on strike to seek better working conditions. I know the low prices and Black Friday specials at Wal-Mart are hard to resist, but remember those prices are low because of the cheap foreign labor markets they buy from as well as the un-living wages and benefits they offer their employees.

And a Happy Thanksgiving to you.
I recently suggested Psychology for a Better World to you, and forgive the shameless plug, but based on the ideas you express in your blog I think you might find my new book interesting too. It basically explores some of the greed issues you refer to. Here is a link to more info:

I hate China-Mart more than any other (non-military-industrial complex & non-financial industry) corporation. And that says a lot. I’ve had a permanent boycott on them for over a decade.
Canada has its Thanksgiving in October, thus retaining the integrity of the holiday (aka giving thanks not just a kickoff to the greed of X-mas) As for the day after US Thanksgiving, I’m a Buy Nothing Day kind of guy.

What a great ad that was to buy nothing. I too have been boycotting Wal-Mart for years and will likely never shop there until they realize the true value of of their workers.

I never go to Wal-Mart, and would prefer to pass on gift giving entirely this year. Hope you had a joyful Thanksgiving.

I did Hans. Thanks. We have food left overs out the kazoo, especially something I never tire of – white rolls. A little butter and some jam will make up part of some breakfasts for the next few weeks.
