Hmmm, none of those ubiquitous bells being rung constantly, ringing and ringing and ringing. Sounds like a good place to shop to me.
Scrooge. :>)
I'm with you. None of those annoying beggars at the door to bother you coming and going.
The sounds of those bells ringing was one off the BEST parts of Christmas for me growing up in San Francisco (back when SF was still a decent city). It was WONDERFUL to hear them echoing off the canyon-like walls of the buildings and see people putting their spare change in the red buckets. The Salvation Army is one of the few decent charitable organizations that actually does a lot of good work that most people will never hear about.
The BEST part about those bells, though, is that they supposedly drives commies & libs CRAZY!!!
Every year the same threat of boycotts. I never shop at Target or another name store always in the news, as I am not into Mega super stores. I tend to put my money into my local economy; but it offends me more for someone to tell me where I can or cannot shop. I also see jobs lost for Americans when groups boycott stores over the holidays.
It is the "Holidays" stretching from Thanksgiving through New Years. Store clerks are never told not to say Merry Christmas (despite the hype Wal-Mart vs Kirby etc. fact check).
The true meaning of Christmas is not about Commercialism. I say shop where you want to shop.
I boycott Boycotts!!!!
Happy Holidays! [all of them]
Is your name Scrooge?
You don't like bells...care to say why?
Are you a Muslim perhaps?
