Today, my family and I had our Thanksgiving dinner. We had turkey, yams, cranberry sauce, stuffing and all the other trimmings.

It is, of course, one week early. Since my sons and I work retail, we all are scheduled to work not only Thanksgiving Day, but the dreaded Black Friday also. We were really depressed. What to do? What to do?

I have heard various rumors from customers saying that retail employees are signing petitions against working those two days or threatening an outright walkout because they want to spend the holiday with their families.
