money money money

The holidays are upon us- can't you tell? Now that the elections are over, the political campaigns won't be peppering us with their incessant ads.  In it's place- holiday ads.  In a few weeks it will be Thanksgiving and then Christmas will be here before you know it.

One of the most ridiculous things I see which contradicts everything the holidays is supposed to be about is Black Friday.  Instead of people getting into the holiday spirit, we see news stories about people slugging each other while trying to get a good deal on a big screen tv, or the latest game system.  Cyber Monday is no better.  It all leaves me feeling terribly greedy.

Let's try something different this year-  what about Giving Tuesday?  Have you heard of it?  It's a day dedicated to GIVING to a cause.  Choose any cause that means something to you.  It's a great opportunity to give instead of take.  Here's a worthy cause for you to take a look at.  



Black Friday…
