Get ‘em while they’re hot, because gold is the only one still around, and you can’t afford it. But all the folks concerned about the real meaning won’t like this ’toon either.
Let me see, since we consider ourselves to be a “Christian” nation, do we buy another flat screen TV or give the same amount to some goofy place like a homeless shelter…obviously Jesus would want you to have the TV as he wanted you to prosper and that means only material prosperity and not that spiritual stuff, er, ah…say what?
Look! It’s Herd mentality! Me thinks I is witnessing De-evolution right before me very own eyes. What hath de all mighty God of Consumerism (Con) wrought upon us now? Aah but I are sad to say, dat de God of Con has wrought nothing upon us for “The fault, dear Consumer, is not in the sales, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.” With apologies to William Shakespear and his play; Julius Caesar (I, ii, 140-141).
If one doesn’t reflect on the meaning of Thanksgiving as spelled out by George Washington, then the period leading up to Christmas is something like the cartoon.
Look, Charlie (Brown), let’s face it. We all know that Christmas is a big commercial racket. It’s run by a big eastern syndicate, you know.Lucy van Pelt
