Subject: RE: BS: Embrace your inner Anti-Santa
I am one of the people that ZOGBY surveys to do Zogby polling.
Yesterday in my email box I found the latest Zogby survey questions. It related to Christmas shopping, how much money spent, whether it is budgeted, buying online, gift cards versus gifts, regifting, etc., and Am I offended if store clerks say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" or "Merry Christmas" instead of something more generic like "Happy Holildays". I don't do much for Christmas now that my son has grown up. I was amazed with the questions about spending... do people really have that much money to spend on plastic toys from China, stuff people don't need, electronic games that can bankrupt you? The lowest choice was "spending $100 or less on gifts" my choice, up into the thousands. Good grief. If you have that much money to spare, give it to charity.
