Once again it's that time of the year. billions of ads to save the corporations from bankruptcy while you go into debt for another 5 years paying down your credit cards. STOP  charging!

I could not have said it better...lol wait i did say it... for all of you that did not see the rest of the interview... Don't knock the crazy . Anything in the world can appear to be not quite as it is but the bottom line diffined Perfectly by the crew.. It was NO child asks to be poor, cold or in need....and remember this before you judge others for tomorrow you will fill your table with more food than you can possiably eat and have it for days.. rocks in hand when living in a glass house...is easier than spending money on socks and giving them to a two yr old with cold feet.. so stay snug and warm or get out and catch a few bargins ....LOL and for heavens sake maybe just maybe in the middle of singing JOY TO THE WORLD you just might catch a little or our Kringle Crazy as you call it...And Your more than welcome to Let us have them. We will get them to the kids..lol  Have a blessed Thanksgiving and it's ok to not want to help but Nana would be so proud if you do...<3

While all these Black Friday Fools are up at the crack of dawn, I'll be nice and warm, snoozing away in my bed, just like last year, the year before that, the year before that........

 

I just can't see the sense in getting up that early just to save a few bucks on some cheap made in China trinkets.

Thankfully my wife and I will be at our vacation home away from all this madness.

It would have been nice to have an actual story posted about this with some real information instead of just a video...which really didn't tell us much at all.

I appreciate this woman and her family doing this for altruistic reasons.  As for the rest of "Black Friday," it brings out the very worst in people and shows just how far we have to go as a civilization before we consider ourselves civilized.

 @I812 I sleep in and stay home. It's much more fun that way!  ;-)

 You sleep in and then go home, or you sleep in at home?

I got confused.
