Shopping on Thanksgiving Rant

There is no deal, product, or event that a person needs that would make me go through that ridiculous ritual!! My gifts to people are based on what they need, not some toy or knickknack that simply must be purchased on a certain day for a "perceived" sale!! I'm not falling for it!!

Last year I got everybody in my little home a new smartphone! They were free, and I'm paying the bill!! Yes, they can play games on it, but they all need them to communicate too!! Best thing, my "shopping" was done in about 5 minutes!! Geof
