Tis' the season for retail company's to make money, did you know 70% of all Major retail stores' profits are aquired around the Holidays. Its funny to see people going through stress, spending money they dont even have, putting themselves in finincial debt, neighbors competing to see who can waste the most electricity on Christmas decorations. Its insane, I bet a majority of kids don't even know what the true meaning of x-mas is. I know when i was a kid, all christmas meant was toys toys toys! I even saw people decorating their house with turkeys and pilgrims in their front lawn last month, even though the pilgrams back-stabbed the Natives and wiped them out to almost extinction!? It just goes to show you how most Americans just accept what they've been taught society is "supposed" to do with NO QUESTIONS ASKED while the rich get richer and the MIDDLE-CLASS gets poorer. God bless America!

Some of us know the facts of history, but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy our life. If enjoying it means hanging paper turkeys or adorning our lawn with pink flamingos, it's okay if it brings somebody joy. For crying out loud, some folks are so patheticly negative and unhappy that they can't stand for others to find happiness in something either.
By the way, I am one of those native Americans and I enjoy celebrating Thanksgiving the old fashioned American way and I don't analyze it.
Why don't you learn to spell? Geez

Gifts don't need to be big... I'm giving most of the family framed pictures of my new baby and her brother, and the kids a couple of $5 toys and a few books. What else do we need?

Jesus is the reason for the Season, I agree it is very stupid to make bills or buy things espically on credit that you pay for the
next five year. Be thankful for what you have!

man kick the attitude--it's not about gifts. Holidays are about being with family. If you don't like the idea of giving gifts, then write cards!
