Creating a holiday mascot of a old obese man that breaks and enters houses (many of which no longer have chimneys) to leave presents for children and eats cookies left out to satiate his lust for food is strange enough.
Black Friday skips the crap and goes straight for the consumerist gold. Stores open at midnight, through random hours of the night, and once more, there isn't even a release of a new gaming system. This I would understand.
The good news is that my nephews got their presents picked out. My oldest nephew likes rock band, younger nephew likes Spider man. I guess Hannah Montana and Dora the Explorer for the nieces. I think I need to call my Brother and Sister to get something they really want.
Getting back to the heart of the issue; Kids need presents because their innocence and blissful reaction to opening gifts should be cherished.
Older people should focus on paying their bills and be realistic about their spending. Fiscal responsibility is the word.
