Ok, I’m not a BB fanboy, but come on. I do think people whine too much. Yes, BB ought to issue gift cards for the screw up, but move along and stop taking everything as a personal assault. Sometimes things get screwed up.

Exactly.

In life, there are disappointments. How you deal with those disappointments is a testament to your character.

My mother in law was distraught that a gift meant for me hadn't arrived. Did it matter? Not in the least. I already had everything I could ever want with me that morning: Family, a warm house, food, The Greatest Country in the World, and of course Salvation from my Lord Jesus Christ.

“My mother-in-law was distraught that a gift meant for me hadn’t arrived”.

From what I occasionally read about MIL’s... you had your Christmas present right there. If she was upset that you may be disappointed.. you have a great relationship with her.

You are so right. I am so sick of santa. My Marine and I are spending our Christmas budget doing things together during his leave. Priceless.
