Friday

Today is big black Friday, the day people go out and spend money they don't have. I once was in K Mart on one of these shopping day, this lady had a long list, she was complaining to her friend on how was she going to pay for all these gifts. She was just going to charge everything then try and pay for it the rest of the year. That is sad, I would think it would be better just to buy gifts for the little kids or only make home made gifts or something so you wouldn't be paying for them all year round. Maybe with all the people out of work and money being so tight this year people will really get down to basics. The season should be about love for one another. I understand why we as Jehovah Witnesses don't celebrate these holiday. So many of these holiday were not celebrated years and year ago. The Government just decided today is a good day to take off. Some Holiday are a mixture of Christian and Pagan beliefs. A lot of the holiday are to celebrate bunny and eggs, a fat man in a red suit, not at all what they first started out to be. So I hope you all are not having to dig down to deep in you pockets and pay for this day the rest of the year. Remember your friendship is a gift, promise to give your daughter a manicure, or take just your son to a movie he wants to see. Maybe mow the lawn for the old lady down the street. Your time is a special gift to, have a great day.
