This is a waste of time. Everybody with sense already boycotts them.
I ALWAYS stay away from the ‘mall’ and other places which ‘sully’ my Christmas experience.
A certain amount of commercialism has to be expected. However, I PERSONALLY take control of how much affects me directly... I mean that!
I won’t watch commercials that are forced onto my notice from Nov. 1 and onward. On the radio, I won’t listen to commercials or Christmas music before Nov. 26!
I keep toatlly AWAY from places that overwhelm shoppers with premature and crass promotion for the Christmas holiday.
This relentless assault on your senses is too much and ruins the Christmas feeling if you let it take over your life, beginning on the first of November!
I have it down pat now... the more that retailers strive for my attention, the more I keep myself and my money to myself! The more they insult my sensibilities, the more I keep Christmas as a personal experience. It DOES work!
Shop local. There are plenty of small shops that have far more meaningful stuff, and the money stays in your town.
The only part of Black Friday I like are the videos on YouTube of Obama voters behaving like animals over a DVD player.
God bless capitolism! I don’t let what stores do affect me on a personal level but I wish them success and continued profits.
I saw a news report on people in line on Monday for the Black Friday sales to be first in the store. Their family will drop off the Thanksgiving dinner while they wait in line. Totally wrong set of priorities.
Sick of Lincoln and the other top-down politicians telling me what to do on holidays. Screw him. I’m spending money and buying gifts.
BOYCOTT BIG GOVERNMENT
BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM. DEFUND their collectives. DISMANTLE their collectives. DEPOPULATE them from the body politic.
Pay, pensions and perks of all legislators past and present rescinded for not reducing/eliminating the debt.
(...it is a moral crime to give money to support ideas with which you disagree; it means: ideas which you consider wrong, false, evil. It is a moral crime to give money to support your own destroyers. - “The Sanction of the Victims”, TOF, April 1982.7.)
“—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Alter it.
Of course I’m not participating in Black Thursday/Friday. I haven’t for years (double digit years). DEFUNDING this economic mess is easier than ever this year.

Of the two concurrent threads, is one has been kind enough to avoid discussions of the art and science of Nancy Pelosi and corresponding bikini waxing.
Or at least it was.....
I’ve long thought that the Thanksgiving to Christmas holiday season is the best time of the year to reconnect with family, friends and neighbors, through the wonderful medium of food. Children need to learn how to cook.
Since so many people have varied diets these days, along with a gift tag for plates of cookies and other goodies, I include an ingredients list, which folks appreciate.

Stupid people put commerce first in family life.
Family will be here for visiting at 11am, dinner at 1pm, dessert at 4pm, all visited out and ready to roll by 8pm.
And then I'll be at my local small town WalMart at 10pm for two 1TB hard drives at a great price AND in support of WM's having enough backbone to tell the unions to FØ !
