Nothing wrong with the concept itself, but the masses of people I see are miserable and spending too much. We are all just buying (literally) into the advertisements. I work in retail and so many people making purchases look sick with worry because they are spending money they can not afford. They are frustrated and angry. It makes me sad. Stop spending money, I say. It means nothing, but supporting corporations! Have a great christmas by not throwing your money around. Boycott needless consumerism. Christmas, Xmas, Holidays, call it what you want. Not everyone celebrates the same thing.Keznoreply@blogger.com
