I agree this is sick, and it's not what I want for my kids. The bad thing is we typical do pick up our kids gifts on that day of darkness... I wonder how many people are seriously injured in shopping related events on Black Friday (and not slip&falls for the sake of suing -- so you can afford the gifts you're about to buy!)

I already have a difficult time as it is with people cutting in line and forgetting their manners. Multiply that times 1000 and you have Black Friday. I like to think of myself as a fairly patient guy, but I will end up losing my cool and probably not being the salt and light that I am called to be in my community. I'm with you...I'm staying home, reading the paper, and shopping online. ;) My wife will also have just returned from a 2-week missions trip to Uganda so I have a feeling our Christmas will look a little more like this... <a href="http://www.adventconspiracy.org/" target="_blank">http://www.adventconspiracy.org/</a> Peace, Erik I find that for my own sanity, I stay away from Black Friday.

My wife will also have just returned from a 2-week missions trip to Uganda so I have a feeling our Christmas will look a little more like this…
