“$5 fleece, Hamburger Helper, and Pre-printed Christmas Cards”
by Ken Proctor
I love the holidays BUT I severely dislike the way it makes people spend money and the pressure it makes people feel to buy SOMETHING for people. I would love to see each year how many wasted presents that are set on a shelf or thrown away etc. To me the person who wakes up in the middle of the night to buy a $5 fleece needs help (sorry to any of you who have done this) because we should not do things for the people in ours lives becau…
