Because nothing says Christmas more than mob of old women fighting over discounted plastic crap and whatever the latest ElmoTeleCabbagePatchGarbage is.
Maybe people should fight the war for Christmas with themselves first and not worry as much about what some retail store is doing. Last time I checked, the Nativity didn’t take place in a WalMart.
Well put, your #25. I like to hear “Merry Christmas”, but, as you said, I am BUYING something. Not exactly a Merry Christmas kind of deal, really.
