What a shame. The reward of giving, Is soooo much more pleasing than receiving, or expecting to receive. I have eight Grandchildren. Can anyone imagine taking that money spent, and $20.00 at a time putting food on someones table at Christmas? Call It Bah Humbug, call It anything you like. It has become a joyous occasion for ALL the wrong reasons.Toadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767895804857825901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-47184238983753726302011-12-12T23:59:20.134-06:002011-12-12T23:59:20.134-06:00I've had problems with the commercialization o...I've had problems with the commercialization of Christmas for years. The ads start coming at you like mad, right after Halloween... all things you don't need. <br /><br />How many people really give their spouse a car for Christmas? These ads are so out of touch. People are losing their jobs, kids are hungry, basic services are being cut in cities all over this country... but we must spend, spend, spend or we are not worthy.kkditherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181697760037435065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-27863847591020725802011-12-12T18:04:28.117-06:002011-12-12T18:04:28.117-06:00The song makes me squirm, but it's so well don...The song makes me squirm, but it's so well done that I had to post it. I'm not trying to ruin anyone's Christmas and I'm no less hypocritical than anyone else (except, maybe, lying John). What I like about the JTI is that I can post stuff like this, even if it makes us uncomfortable. <br /><br />I am not a bah humbug type guy about Christmas. I actually enjoy the season; well, most of it.OrbsCorbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195806840368262235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514457884876261588.post-68067581584006393552011-12-12T15:50:35.963-06:002011-12-12T15:50:35.963-06:00Sad TRUTH.
