Black Friday (acrostic)

I'm watching people on TV exposing their children to a 'cold night's stake out' to catch the 'door buster sale'... I'm turning cynical here!!

Bone chilling cold - your butt is sore
Long lines of madness around the store
Another merchant with a wide grin
China’s ahead with an economical win
Kids forced to labor - in the U.S. it’s a sin

Fisher Price has a very long list
Recalls from lead paint still do exist
Irresponsible spending
Destructs family peace
Abundance - I wonder, is there the need?
Yes there sure is, if you're living in greed.

So sad, but oh so true. Christmas is not about the presents. It's about God's presence!

God bless you. Kathy

Right! You have entered...the BlackZone, where compassion and good sense go right out the window, to be replaced by greed. They forget the REAL Reason for the Season! Sad.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

An effectively sad, thought provoking write. And those parents need to be charged with child endangerment!!!

They need to get back to the REAL Reason for the Season: the Birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!! Maybe then people would be much nicer instead of acting like first-class grinches!!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

You will never get me out again on the day after Thanksgiving...It just ain't worth the effort. I give gift certificates. And I have an Index Tracking Fund, (Dow and S&P).... set up for all the Grandbabies.
