I just read this article about a man being trampled to death at Wal-Mart when the store opened for Christmas sales. I can't believe that this is what we've turned Christmas into. This is why I never go boxing day shopping.
I read this article to the class I was TOCing for. Shocking, isn't it? I hope the deals on toys or toilet paper were worth it. Mob mentality is scary. What I wonder, is after the pushing and shoving was over and people were through the door, did they realize what they had done? If they did, did they still continue shopping and did Walmart stay open?
Once you take Christ out of Christmas, all you have left is a greedy spending spree. This year, my family has decided only to buy gifts for my nepheau and a few gifts for needy families we know. We are all sick of the irrational spending.
Aww look at the little tree skirt. Cute tree. Merry Christmas, enjoy Port Alberni! Love Jenn P.S. all the gifts from you have been received :) Hope you got ours!
I hope you and Mike had a nice visit in Port and a good Christmas night when he got home from work. I just arrived to the Island today, it is still snowing! Thanks for the nice comment on our blog. Can't wait until our next visit. Love, Melissa
I love to read and write fantasy, and to re-write old myths and stories. I'm a poet. I can't wait to go travelling. Especially to Ireland. I cry easily, I hate seafood, I sometimes watch UFC fighting and I teach Sunday School. When I was little, I wanted to be a detective, and used to carry a "detective bag" which I still have in my closet. I love old movies, potato chips and cheesecake.
