Bah Humbug

What has happened to the Christmas spirit?
I hear commercials on the radio that depicts people telling their mothers to go to some store because they have what they want for Christmas.

Christmas every year seems to be about sales events and 30% off.







It's about super shoppers and Canadian dollar parity and the all elusive bargain.
It's about Uggs and mugs and Coaches and roaches.
What are we doing?



It's been about cross border shopping and getting a deal instead of getting what you need. Actually I needed this ice scraper when we were in Michigan and the ComfortInn we stayed at gave it to us for free. WOO HOO! Bargoon!




What are teaching these guys?
Is it about who gets the nicest toy?
Or who gets the most for free or the most percentage off?





What about Christmas?
Is it about excess commercialism and marketing?








What about the guy in the red suit. What about the baby in the manger?





Or is it about enjoying the company of family even though they may be laughing at your expense and teasing you.
And you do it because you love them and it's the Christmas spirit.

Bah humbug. When are we going to Buffalo again?
