I think it's odd that soldiers are dying days before Christmas, supposedly fighting for our freedom, and Americans are rushing around fighting for parking spots.

This year I finally did it. I retooled Christmas. This is how: By donating gifts only to those who need them, rather than buying gifts for people who already have enough things. I only spent what I could afford and it felt good.
On the topic of gifts, did anyone see Oprah's show today? Oh my gosh, she donated $40 million to Alicia Keys' charity. Holy cows! Hurray for Oprah, whose Angel Network charity is one of the best out there because all the money goes to the charity. Oprah pays for the administrative costs out of her own pocket.
