All I know is that my wife and I will be ringing our bells December 16 from 6 PM until 8 PM at the Krogers in Johnson City, TN near ETSU.

Any FReepers, who wish to visit, should bring some money.

Solution:

Donate more to charity this season and spend less on gifts for the grownups.

When the big corporations see that their take is shrinking they'll come around.

I dumped my change from grocery shopping at a local Krogers (including several dollar bills) in to the pot and did not get so much as a thank you or Merry Christmas. Although I was a little disappointed, I will continue to give.

Corporations that tell the Salvation Army to stay away are telling ME to stay away, too.
And so I will.

Salvation Army was posted outside of Trader Joe's. I enjoyed giving them my business.

Maybe we should sing the Salvation Army Song as a gesture of support:

Leland's Salvation Army Song
(Put a nickel on the drum)

I was lyin' in the gutter, all covered up with beer!
Pretzels in my eyebrows, I knew the end was near,
When along come the Salvation Army (meaning Fremont)
and saved me from the hearse.
Everybody come along, let's sing that second verse:

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Put a nickel on the drum, save another drunken bum!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Put a nickel on the drum and you'll be saved!

Oh, G-L-O-R-Y, to be S-A-V-E-D!
I'm so H-A-P-P-Y that I'm F-R-double-E (hee-hee!)!
F-R-double-E from the ways of S-I-N!
Glory, glory, hallelujah, tra-la-la-l'-amen!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Put a nickel on the drum, save another drunken bum!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Put a nickel on the drum and you'll be saved!

--Salvation Army is the only one I donate too and ever will.

Some of the bell-ringers at Wal-Mart and Sam's have been Boy Scouts this year. They get more money from me. Parents are there with them - have even been seranaded by the kids. Walgreens is the only other place I have seen the SA red buckets.

I don't understand this.

I thought malls couldn't stop people from handing out flyers under free speech.

So why can they do this?

If any business blocks the Salvation Amry, they should be PICKETED and BOYCOTTED.

That's the ONLY language these cowardly S.O.B.s understand.

It worked with "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry CHristmas".
