Black Friday?

That is exactly what is wrong with the holiday and with people in general. Though I hate that things like the "black Friday" fights etc at Wal-Mart happens, they do tend to justify (at least to me) how I feel about the commercialization of Christmas and about how stupid people are in general! How can anything materialistic be so important that folks fight, push, shove, trample, curse and generally disrespect other folks? If the Christmas spirit where really alive and well in our country and if folks actually lived as Christ would have them live, would any of that crap happen? Of course not. So, in the name of celebrating the birth of Christ, we treat each other this way to get a "gift" for someone? This just never has sat well with me and I hope I am not the only one that sees the absurd behaviors as just the opposite as I feel Christ would have us behave, particular as we celebrate his birth each year.

Otherwise, my Thanksgiving was great. My wife made an excellent dinner. We ate, rested, played games and yes, watched some football!

Cowboys won, Panthers won, Giants lost.... One of the smallest guys on the PGA tour and among the shortest drivers off the tee won the annual Skins game.... Tiger was second, but probably should have one easily...

Time to head home for the evening....

Good day
