When did Cyber Monday become Cyber Monday? I get Black Friday. But doesn't it all just leave you in the RED??? As consumers are we spending wisely? Doubt it. Whatever happened to gifts made from love? Ask me what I want for Christmas. I will tell you, my family, and friends the same thing. I want to be debt free, keep my home, have electricity, and food in my frig.
So what types of gift do I want... For goodness sake, based on the above keep it simple. I'd love a homemade quilt--like the my yellow dutch girl quilt Nana made. She new nights would get cold for her granddaughter. I'd love a gift card to Food Lion, Bi-Lo, Piggly Wiggly. Doesn't matter the store. It puts food in my frig. Basic needs. I am talking about gifts that are what we need and not want. Or it that's too impersonal make me jars of fruit preserves or give me a fresh greens or sweet potatoes. Now I know some of you must agree with me, that help with the electric bill isn't a bad idea. Just call Horry Electric and say...I would like to apply $20 to Tiff's account. I would just love it. Or...or my gift could be candles. Not only does it light the house but it makes my home smell oh so good.
I really want to take a stand on Cyber Monday Day or shall it be give your money to Macy's. And I can rack up on shoe clearance rack at Macy's. This is not a bash Macy 1-liner. I know it's a high tech world. Some of us have a need to give gifts like that. Then GOOD. Pay my HTC cell phone & wireless bill. How is that for a high tech gift? What! It keeps me technically connected.
Nana Says..."For God so loved the world he gave his son, and with love comes gifts." I get it Nana. Just tell our family and friends to gift based on the above. I have had enough of Black Friday & Cyber Monday. Give Me or shall I say Gift Me-- GET OUT OF THE RED WEDNESDAY.
