You have to have a lot of money to be able to camp out for 4 days to save 20
bucks.

I cannot understand the "tradition." I would much rather spend the time
enjoying myself, relaxing and having a good time. I blame the advertisers
for creating this absurd culture of consumerism that has taken what should
be a pleasant and reflective time of the year and turned it into a hell
hole; an all out brawl to buy crap and stress yourself into a coronary at
the same time.

When did "how'd you survive the holidays" become a standard response to the
new year?
