Businesses will do anything to sell something

No doubt you have heard about the biggest fiasco in stores this summer. What!, you have not heard about CHRISTMAS IN JULY!! Come on now, that has got to be the biggest bogus reason for a sale that I have ever heard.

On one TV news show, a reporter asked a little kid in a store "who is that".....while pointing to a drawing of Santa in swim trunks on the beach. The child hesitated for a moment and replied, "summer Santa?"

Let's face it, Santa is being perpetuated by big business to bring in money. All Santa means now is giving and getting, which both, in the eyes of retail, mean buying.

All I am doing is shaking my head in shame for businesses that have to stoop so low to get people to buy junk. I am walking away from that fiasco and I hope many other do too.
