What the heck have we come to?  So Black Friday now starts on Thursday night.   People give the bum rush to giving thanks to run down to the local Walmart and act like idiots.  In the news I read of several Black Friday incidents that made my skin crawl.  1.  a woman fighting for either video games or  players not sure which pepper sprayed people to get to them.  2 a man was arrested and then knocked out because in order to keep other hoodlum shoppers from taking yet again another video game right out of his hands he put it under his shirt.  I realize the officer who knocked him down resulting in him losing consciousnesses and an amount of blood had no idea exactly what happened but Really?  Over Christmas Gifts?  Over GAMES.  We have become nothing short of a pack of wolfs feeding off a carcass of commercialism gone crazy.

Okay so much for a time to reflect on the time of our Lord's birth, or even world peace, friendship or any other holiday cheer, we have to knock whoever is in our way outta the way to reach a freaking VIDEO GAME.

I stopped doing Black Friday several years ago, rarely step out of the house after Thanksgiving, avoid town like the plague.  90% of my shopping will be done online as I can't stand the rudeness of people in the store, the commercialism of the holiday, the Greediness of the shoppers.  The sad thing is people have their children with them often when they are acting like this and what a great example we are making for them.

We have sunk to a new all time Commercialized Christmas low!!!
