Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place!

  Looks like we're got a dilemma on our
hands today friends!
  It's the day after Thanksgiving.
  That makes it "Black Friday." It's one
of the two busiest shopping days of the
year! (The other, by the way, is the day
after Christmas.)
   The Christmas holiday shopping
season begins today and some
merchants do one half to three quarters
of their annual sales between Black
Friday and December 24th!
   Businessmen love Black Friday and,
to be fair, there's a lot of shoppers
that are actually anxious to spend
their time and money searching for
bargains!
   But here's the thing!
   Did you know this is also "Buy
Nothing Day!"
   I'm serious!
   A guy named Ted David from
Vancouver, Canada came up with the
idea which is promoted by a group
called "Adbusters."
   "Buy Nothing Day" was first
observed in 1992 as a sort of
protest against the commercialism
of Christmas.
   Its supporters updated it this
season by giving it a contemporary
theme......."OCCUPY CHRISTMAS!"
   You can decide which one
you'll support OR, perhaps, you'll
just choose to observe the OTHER
November 25th "Holiday."
   You see this is also "National
Parfait Day."
   All you need to celebrate is
a nice fancy ice cream sundae!
   Sounds like a great alternative
to me!
   Hope you have a great day......
whichever you decide to celebrate
and that all your NEWS is good!
