Black Friday Shopping

Posted in Society on November 28th, 2025

Better, Wiser Black Friday Shopping

Well, it’s Black Friday again, that day of mercantile madness, violence, and performative stupidity. We here at Reflections From A Murky Pond prefer to “shop” differently, though. Insofar as we’re concerned, it’s better to get a Black babe – I started my day in one 😉 – than to join in with the annual paroxysm of consumerism.

Mino-Miigwechwigiizhigad

Mino-Miigwechwigiizhigad

Mino-Miigwechwigiizhigad, which is an Ojibwe phrase that is often used as “Happy Thanksgiving” among the Northeastern Amerindian tribes. And yes, for the scholars out there, I could have instead used, “Ohèn:ton Karihwatéhkwen,” which is the Kanien’kéha (Mohawk dialect of the Haudenosaunee language group) phrase for “Thanksgiving Address.” However, the Ohèn:ton Karihwatéhkwen isn’t related to the American Thanksgiving holiday and is or was used quite often at the beginning of meetings throughout the year.

But, in that vein, I will give thanks to the Creator for the things that go about on the earth, especially the native beauties that do so. 😉

It’s Harvest Time

It’s Harvest Time, Not Christmastide!

That’s right! It’s harvest time, Thanksgiving if you will. It’s not yet Christmastide. Do not defrost Mariah Carey yet. All I want for Christmas is to not be inundated with it until at least November 28th.
