Thanksgiving is 48 hours away. The big day of gratitude and gravy will soon be upon us … and in us. Meat, potatoes, vegetables and pie. Lots of pie.
Call it gluttony, but we’ll need that food for strength to get us through the long, cold, dark slide toward Christmas. Even while we’re still bleary from gorging, it’s time to shop.
The day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday, when the annual holiday pillaging season kicks off. People storm the stores for holiday bargains, while crooks swarm the parking lots.
See, the criminal element is also excited about the holiday season.
