Very apt Jacob. They tried and suceeded bringing black friday over here last year, but it looks like sense prevailed this year and we all said as one, no thanks. One crazy year was enough to put us off.
Amen! Thankfully, I missed out on the shopping gene when the good Lord was handing them out. I have never, ever joined those crazy crowds and never will. There's not a single thing that I want that much and not enough savings to entice me out the door. No way, no how.

Consumerism consumes. Americans need to be reminded of this over and over...I wonder when are they going to realize this...I am sorry if my tongue is too sharp, but there are truths - facts that we can never brush away.
