Shopping Madness

So I heard a rumor, or maybe it wasn't, that someone actually DIED in a stampede at a Wal-Mart out east. And that a pregnant woman miscarried due to the crowd.

WOW.

Are material goods really worth that? It actually makes me physically sick. Where are the days of celebrating holidays by being able to spend quality time with family and friends? I refuse to participate in "Black Friday" madness.

OK, I'm not saying that I don't love to shop - I do. In fact sometimes I think I might have a bit of an addiction. But I refuse to participate in the frenzy that is known as Black Friday. I love giving gifts. But they are gifts from the heart, not from the pocketbook.

Yuck.
