Disney does have some nice family movies, unrealistic but good for small kids. We seldom need anything people try to sell us, but advertisement is in front of us almost 24./7. We do one gift and a stocking, eat pork roasts, and drink a lot of wine. That is our family Christmas in a nutshell. I like to shop but more for entertainment. kaitlyn’s last blog post..Holiday Dressing

It has (or every older generation feels it) that Christmas is just an excuse to spend money on people, whether they need things or not. But no one of stature wants to undermind that philosophy since US Economics now turns on whether Bobby/Betty Sue gets a Nintendo, I-Phone, shiny thing-a-ma-gig to make those China exports keep on a risin'. I've made gifts since I've been out. Booklets, CDs of songs, stuff like that. As it turns out, we better start making things again or else, they'll be little Merry about this country...

Anyone who doesn’t believe in rushing the capitalist super warehouse lines to buy the toy of the day is obviously not a “good,” reasonable,” “serious,” and extremely “patriotic” American. Consumer confidence, i.e., spending money, is the most “patriotic” thing a person can do during time of war. Not to mention this whole thing can easily be viewed as an accessory to Bill O’Reilly’s War on Christmas!!!!

‘Tis better to rush toy lines and go to Disney than find WMD.
