Further down the road, we stop to buy grocery at Fareway in Spencer, Iowa. I was curious as to why we were buying groceries, but did not asked. Finally we…

It seems that as time goes on, the familial aspect of the holidays, especially Thanksgiving, has been watered down in order to make it more marketable to consumers. Also, the day itself is now practically ignored in order to make room for more profitable traditions such as Black Friday. Capitalism, commercialism, and retail…
