It's a feeding frenzy!


Poem Artwork

they're out there
the sharks in line waiting for
the next big
bargain to bust down the door
who cares if
someone gets in the way - m o w
'em down, it's
M I N E (with little ones in tow)
teach 'em greed
real good lesson for them to
learn - Merry
Christmas leaves me black & blue

You are so right about the feeling. Frenzy, aggression, frustration...
What's the meaning of it?
A clear message in few words.

Take care,

I too make it a point to never go to these sales...after a few years ago when I attended a moonlight madness sale, well that was putting it mildly...I was poked, pushed, prodded, and nearly trampled...I usually find someone who is planning to attend and will let them pick up an item for me...I try to shop online more now, especially with rising gas prices. Well done!
Blessings & Happy Holidays,
Joyce B.

Make it a point never to go out, just stay home, keep warm and take it easy. Always thought it was so silly anyway. Even when the kids were little, always did my Christmas shopping all year long so when Halloween rolls around I can kick back and relax. Just the wrapping to do now. Loved this one...

Be safe,
Karen

It is sad that our world revolves so much on that dollar sign that perfectly sane people act insane to save ten bucks. Sad reflection of our times.

The picture says it all. Nothing but a feeding frenzy. It's sad that there are so many gullible people in this world today that put materialistic things before the real meaning of the Season. No, it is not "Happy Holidays." It's Merry Christmas. I make it a point to respond to a "Happy Holidays" wish with "Merry Christmas." That is what it's all about; the ONLY reason for the Season!

It is too bad that some think this way. I used to go Christmas shopping on this day, getting all my presents and enjoying the crowd. Yet, the older I get, I don't find it not so exciting, but a drudgery. I shop in the evening when folks are fixing supper, still find the good sales and minus the hustle and bustle. Rather miss it.

God bless you. Kathy

You will NEVER get me out the day after Thanksgiving.
Except to play golf...No shoppers on the golf course...only birdie hunters.

My daughter had to be at work this morning at 3:45 at the Penny's store. Today is her first day to experience Black Friday from the other side. She called on her lunch break before we had breakfast.

A Very Nasty Feeding Frenzy that I've avoided for many years. And I know folks who spend 10 bucks in gas driving many miles to cash in on a 10 dollar savings. Sounds truly Nuts, to me.
