The Meaning of Consumer-istmas

As we are in full swing to the Christmas season, I can't help but reflect into what Christmas has meant to me in the past and now in the present.  Years past Steph and I would run out to our nearest Press Enterprise vending machine on Thanksgiving day to find that years best Black Friday deals.  A good portion of our Thanksgiving day would be dedicated to going through every add, circling what we wanted to buy, compose a list, and draw out our war map as to how we were going to make it happen.  It was quite strategic with the goal of getting in and out as fast as possible, without missing anything on our list.
