Lisa, here's my Christmas gift to you...

The missing "THEY" form the post above. I knew you wanted it. I made it myself.

:D :evil: ;)

A post about a typo, with a typo. :D ;)

I view the commercialization of Christmas as just desserts for religion forcing its way into the civic sphere. If you force secular society to celebrate your holiday and don't whine when your holiday gets secularized.

That said, I'm still not shopping. I just ignore it.

VAM!

(I can hear Emeril saying that.)

I heard a story this morning about a German man (Frank Oynhausen) who decided that he was tired of the commercialization of Christmas. "I started thinking about how I could reintroduce traditional religious values into this commercial world". He launched his company "Sweet Lord" which produces and sell foil-wrapped chocolates in the shape of Jesus.

The church is not amused. I'd like to direct Mr. Engel's attention to the local Catholic Articles store. ;)

Silly man - Everyone knows Christ comes in wafers

I thought that was a fraternity hazing stunt.

Oh... "in".... never mind.

I'm a big fan of Jesus at Burning Man, myself

Gap and Old Navy shopping has been completed.

I've looked through the ads an there's really just not much this year. If I had the dough I might get excited about the Kitchen Aid deals, but that's literally it. I'm disappointed.

What a snooze-fest.
