Black Friday begins at midnight, Nov. 26 at Toys R Us

We are 'CHRISTMAS' shoppers and have turned in our credit cards and will not shop at some of the stores who are against "CHRISTMAS" i.e. Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, CVS Pharmacy, Gap, HSN, Kroger, McDonalds, Office Depot, Olive Garden, Outback, Publix, Radio Shack, Staples, Victorias Secret. Marginal stores are Kohls, QVC, Safeway and Best Buy. Fellow believers, there are lots more who care and they will have our business.

It is crazy how blackfriday deals are an obvious playout of the
prisoner dilemma theory. i really wonder if they're going make more
money with less profit per purchase during the deal sweepstakes than
if they had just kept their prices the same. anyways i found this
site last year and they made shopping super easy because i didn't
have to leave my house and get caught in the walmart 6 am group and
got some great deals. it's http://www.2009blackfridayads.com. check
it out.

Marsha's comment is interesting-could she please explain more why those stores aren't in the Christmas spirit? More details would be helpful here.

Its funny that we are close to celebrating Jesus's Birthday by buying cheap toys built in a country (China) that not only is not Christain but does not tolerate religious freedom. The products made in China are often dangerous (Look at the recent Barbi article). At least try buying American if our spoiled American brats can't live without the garbage. As a electrician I built a Toys-our-us in Kansas. I can't remember anything being built in the U.S. I like Ang's suggestion, donate to charity. There are enough people hurting from alot of our jobs being sent overseas. Try buying your kids a Bible.

This holiday season we should donate the money we would spend on gifts to our local community centers. It is immoral and unpatriotic to spend this on ourselves. Yes We Can!

I am sure Jesus could not care less about christmas. It is not his birthday, never was and is just an old pagan holiday that the catholic church tried to christianize.

Jesus is not the reason for the season, greed is.

If somebody tells you to put Jesus back into christams, tell them....he was never there to begin with.

Last year, my husband and I made our children 3 items each. I made my son a blanket and our daughter two dresses. The only things we bought for them was the tools to go in the tool box my husband made for our son and a small tin tea set to go in the basket I made for our daughter.

This year, like last year, we're asking people not to purchase cheap electronic toys for our children. We know our children still want them because their friends have them. But we also know that our children won't get sick from the items we make them. And we know that our children will use and appreciate what we give them, even if they sometimes covet the fancy plastic garbage that everyone else has. We know that what we give them stimulates their imaginations instead of rotting them.

I know it sounds bad, but we opened up the toys that came from our in-laws last year to see what they were. About half of them wound up being donated to the church or to children in the neighborhood.

Honestly, I think if everyone actually stood up and said that we don't want that crap anymore that something would happen. But no one will because they're still too busy keeping up with the Joneses.

Me and mine, we take pride in the fact that we are a no TV, very few technogadet family.
