O Come Let Us Adore Him

I know I can’t think of a more appropriate way to celebrate itinerant agricultural workers being the first to hear that the Son of God was born in a stable because His family was in town to render unto Caesar than trampling your fellow man to get cheap consumer crap manufactured by preteens not making a living wage in the third world (the old “suffer the little children” strategy). I’m sure Jesus is really peeved that his name isn’t brought into this more often.
Bonus Sermon on the Mount points for physically intimidating the employees whose sub-living wages (as well as the Medicaid healthcare their children depend on) subsidize those low, low prices.
Focus on the Family indeed. Clearly not Joseph’s.
Two years ago, I woke up at O’dark thirty, and headed promptly for my local electronics (sounds like sir-gut shitty, but I’m not naming names) house to purchase a Friday only, early bird special TV.
I was there at opening, and they were magically out of the TV in question.
I will NEVER EVER fall for their shit again. I would rather stick a hot poker up my ass than to shop on black Friday again!
Don’t forget that Mary was an unwed pregnant teenaged girl.
