What A Joyful Time of Year!

It's kind of odd that the first shopping day of the Christmas season is referred to as "Black" Friday. I mean seriously the white-Christmas-purity-snowy-winter-wonderland has no place for anything labeled "black"!

Not that I have a real problem with the word "black"...lol! The behavior, endless displays of rudeness and greed; the disregard for your fellow man shopper - that's my issue.

Maybe black is just what retailers hope to be in for the rest of the year as opposed to red!

But the holiday we Christians use to celebrate, honor and commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ shouldn't have anything to do with these type of spectacles either, right? Surely the wise men didn't gnash teeth, threaten to shoot, or trample each other to get the gifts for the little child in the manger.

It's almost sickening...no, it IS sickening.

Bah hum bug!!
