Despite Thanksgiving being one of the few non-consumerist American holidays, companies and corporations are sure to create and/or tie their names to any one of their products to make it "Thanksgiving Themed". Most notably, of course, would be major food brands, such as the Pilsbury advertisement shown here. But the large department stores, including Marshalls, Dillards, and even Target, send out thousands of catalogues to assure a customer that there are bound to be a list of endless, one-time-of-the-year decorations and products that he or she should be sure to buy before the holiday begins. It's bad enough to have Black Friday, the annual day of major sales for all stores across the country, but is it ever going to be possible to make any religious or cultural holiday consumer-free?
