This day is quickly becoming one of the most rediculous days in history to me. People, many of which don't have the money and are using credit cards, go stand in line at 4AM to spend thousands of dollars to buy stuff for people they don't need to be buying. Christmas has become nothing more than a holiday for people to go into debt, and not about the birth of Christ. It makes me SICK! I saw one woman on the news this morning that said they cancelled Thanksgiving dinner at her home so she could go sit in line at the mall, and she said she was planning on spending $6,000 today. Morons! Save your money! I'd just as soon nobody bought me anything! The best gift I could get would be to see my relatives not waste piles of their money! I am glad to say, today I am at work, and so is my wife, she thinks it's all a bunch of nonsense too.

I'm with you Luke.
If I wanted I it, I'd buy it.

What do I want for Christmas?
A cup of coffee, and to spend the day surrounded by loving family members....in that order......

Here here! It really bothers me to see society spiraling into oblivion. One day these shopping spree's on plastic is gonna to catch up with these people. And it's gonna hurt.

All I want to do for Christmas, is go to church and celebrate the birth of or lord and savior, and spend the day those in my family who I care about. The best gift someone could give me would be if they saved their money, I fell better knowing somebody is more financially stable than that they spent $50 on me for something I didn't want or need anyhow.

I set up a ground blind (not a tent, just a place to hide behind) overlooking a well used trail. My son tried to take a nap, but a squirrel dropped an acorn on him just about the time he dozed off.
On a related note, I almost ran over a rabbit this morning. I was driving about 3 miles per hour, the rabbit darted across the trail about 5 times before committing to running off to the bushes.

Wow, I was gonna post how happy I was that my fianc'ee bought me a 5hp 2 cylinder air compressor, but everybody is talking about family now I feel bad

I agree, people are crazy. They had an article about people camping out at stores since tuesday night (that's when I really wanna just blow some smoke on people). But yes my christmas I'm staying home, gonna light a fire, enjoy music and hot chocolate. (maybe a beer or two). I do plan on staying home and most of our presents are house stuff (mantel, cabinets for laundry room) so most of the stuff is stuff we need, and use (I'm getting a chainsaw too ) But I agree, today it's all about spending. Ebay had that playstation 3 up to 12,000 dollars........ Common people, that's crazy (investing in Cummins diesel OEM parts, and performance modifiers is different, that's an investement)

Funnyiest thing is that most people who are camping out to buy those ps's are buying them to sell them not for their kids.

unbelievable

I am not a supporter of the 'Black' Friday at all. I just know what a fun thing it would be if they included Diesel upgrades on those discount shelves!

I hope you had a good bird day!
