Black Friday Shopping

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, 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.
