(6,699 posts)We left for Mexico a week or so ago, and I'm so glad I am away from that capitalistic BS materialism that has infiltrated our society to a sick, sadistic frenzy. I love to read of people who have written the commercialism OUT of the holidays. I am 66, and so bummed out at Christmas, I can't enjoy it any longer. It actually makes me depressed and ugly.
Here in Mexico it's what it should be....the season, family, a nativity scene, and maybe a visit to Church. But ALL that commerical BS is missing. You watch TV, and there is NONE of that Christmas "buy, buy, buy" crap at every commercial, unless it's a network from the States. Good riddance.
Christmas is a miserable time for me. Makes me want to be Jewish or Muslim, just to not have to be concerned with the nonsense. Bah, humbug~!

(97 posts)This total nonsense should be outlawed. Do these people know how stupid they look? Do they care? These big box stores shouldn't be allowed to do this. Just my opinion!

When I watch videos like this I have visions of billionaires clinking their champagne glasses with snorts of contemptuous guffaw as they watch the peasants go stampeding over each other for a $30 discount on an iPad.

(959 posts)What are they grabbing? What in God's name is important enough to take a chance on getting killed? This Thanksgiving I'm grateful that I am too old to be sucked into this madness, and I have the good fortune to have enough money to buy the things I need and maintain some humanity. These people have lost their minds.
