Commercialized Christmas

Crystal Clear Conservative wonders:

So, what are your thoughts on the commercialism of Christmas? Do you think the retailers will come out in the black this year, instead of the predicted red?

Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m disappointed in the commercialization of Christmas but not entirely surprised.  For my entire lifetime it’s been a retail bonanza, but for my family it has been more about getting together and enjoying each other’s company.

Will retailers do fine?  I think so.  I just worry it’ll be because of folks racking up their credit.
