    Frankly i find it inconsiderate to the social contract to go out on holidays, and sometimes around them.

    Its frankly why i always found Black Friday and the “scope creep” of this festival of consumerism partially so repulsive. I mean its repulsive on its own just in the way people act, but doubly so in that it runs right through a national holiday.

      I lost years of Thanksgivings with family due to the scope creep of black Friday. Some years family could work around it, like we would have dinner at noon so I could be at work by 6 - but even then you feel terrible for forcing that.

      I don’t have a problem on religious holidays with going out to a place run by people who don’t celebrate it. I was craving Arab food Christmas Eve which was fine because it’s just another day for them. I would never visit during their holidays as they would never go to a Christian store during ours.
