'Tis the Season

Ethel scowls at the morning news. "What the devil is this 'Black Friday' they keep talking about?" she asks.


"It's the day after Thanksgiving," I answer. "It's the day a lot of stores start running their big Christmas sales."


Still scowling. "Oh. That's news?"


"Nope. It just gives 'em something to make noise about instead of talking about things that matter."
