I'm for suspending Christmas....they come around way too often these days and my wife spends way too much money on the Grand Kids. They open them, take them home and then the next time they see the light of day is in the spring when Daughter has a garage sale. Bah Humbug!!
Thats why you buy them socks and underwear.
Man, I'm a Costco junkie. If I want someone to say Merry Christmas I'll go to church, I want good prices.
Everytime I flash my card at the door or go through checkout I promise to say "Merry Christmas".
That's why I now buy US Savings Bonds for them at birthday and Christmas time...with 6 grandkids I can't afford to waste the money on toys...that's their parents job...:)
I agree, the commercialization of Christmas pretty much sucks. I think it should be celebrated for what it is, The day of our Saviors birth.
