Black Friday

What interests me about this year's Black Friday is how much it will indicate the slippage of Consumer Confidence and perhaps the realization that we don't need to buy all those gifts ... despite the fact that Christmas spending accounts for 40% of all annual retail spending, and the economy will further tank if we stop having our decadent Consumer Christmas.

I'm sorry about the economy, but for the sake of the meaning of Christmas and the sake of Americans coming to grip with out-of-control consumerism, I'd like Black Friday and the entire Christmas season to be an economic disaster. And a spiritual awakening.
