My thoughts were on the subject of the original post. The obsession that drives people to act like an angry mob just to get a few dollars off something. Shopping for a personal item or a gift for someone shouldn't be an obsession. It should be an enjoyment.

I don't have any problem with people getting or giving gifts either. That is the normal Christmas tradition.

I do think Christmas has become a giant money making event and way too complex at times. I wish we could return to simpler times. I know that won't happen so I'll live with today's rules.
