Looks like they were searching the newspaper for all the sales on black Friday and even on Thanksgiving day, so they could run to the mall and shop.!!
Wow, we’ve come such a long way in our expression of gratitude. The only compact they would sign today would be that sale on a compact car!!!!

“Never be the source of anyone’s misfortune and never pass up the opportunity to perform a charitable act.” I think that is all there is to it.

Today the Mayflower ‘compact’, would likely be a hybrid, like the Prius.. While I prefer the full size SUV..
