It's definitely not Thanksgiving here in Canada - we had ours last month, but I can't help but know it's Thanksgiving in the United States. 

Last night I saw a Kohl's commercial and it seems on Friday - the biggest shopping day of the year in the US - Kohl's is going to be opening its doors at 4 a.m.! And there are going to be over 250 door crashers available. Quirky to be sure, but effective nonetheless, which explains why I've remembered the two most important details.

I remember hearing about lemmings as a child, and how they'd all go running off cliffs into the ocean in packs. Does Black Friday reek of the same philosophy? Why do Americans insist on punishing themselves, over and above what would be considered normal to save a few dollars?

If you want to save a few dollars, come up to Canada and do some shopping ... oh wait, the Canadian dollar is still stronger than the US. Perhaps you'll have to check back next year.

All kidding aside I hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving holiday, and be safe!
