Yesterday was Thanksgiving in America, which means today is Black Friday, the biggest pre-Christmas sale day in America. Up until now this only happened in America, but it has now spread to the UK. My Mother-in-law works at a large British supermarket, and today she had reason to be scared at work. They were holding a Black Friday Sale, and the public were behaving disgracefully. Fighting over TV's, rushing down the aisles, knocking over staff and in one case a small child. When there was a fire alarm, people were refusing to leave without their chosen bargains.
I'm no saint when it comes to coveting material things, but there is nothing on this earth that would cause me to behave so disgracefully.
Thanks for reading
