Merry Christmas!! I agree w/ 87Ranger.
So here is my thoughts. Christmas is all a huge marketing gimmick. I doubt Christ said that on my B-day there will be Santa and its better to give than receive etc. Santa was a marketing phenomena.
This years black Friday brought me a 42" Panasonic Plasma ($1,000 at best buy + $50 to pay the kid to stand in line (hehe). That was the best $50 I have ever spent. The kid was in line on Wednesday. I was at the store and I started talking to him. I mentioned that I would pay someone $50 for the ticket for the Plasma TV and he spoke up and said he would do it for $50. He came through. I showed up to Best Buy at 4AM (store opened at 5am). The line must have been 300 yards long. I got in the store and called him and got my ticket. then I only had to wait in line for 1.5 hours to check out.

I knew I liked the people here for more than just being Ford Nuts.
I agree Warpig, Christmas has gotten so commercial most people don't even know what it is really about. The wife and I decided we weren't going to play the game this year. We just bought a few presents and didn't go into debt for Christmas. We actually had more fun, didn't stress out on everything and just enjoyed what the season is for.
Hope everyone had a MERRY CHRISTMAS
