I'm sure most of you have heard by now of the tragic events during this biggest shopping day of the year. My prayers go out to the poor Wal-Mart employee's family and friends.
Now, I'm a well-known cheap-skate, and I don't like waiting in lines anymore than the next person, but it seems a bit ridiculous to join a thundering herd to get $10 of a Wii. I'll go later and pay more, thank you just the same. And as for those must have items, there's no such thing. I love giving my kids things that make them happy, but they have had to wait until after Christmas a time or two to get an out-of-stock item. Maybe if the people in the Wal-Mart stampede had been taught to wait for what they want back when they were kids...well, I'm just sayin'.
And I don't know what to say about the duel/gunfight at Toys'R'Us, other than it's a shame they couldn't find a more appropriate place to slap leather. Pistols at 10 paces in the Barbie aisle? What's next, knife-fights at Chuck E. Cheese?
Enjoy your holidays, folks. But please be careful.
