Ah yes, its Boxing Day again. The day where all the Scrooges emerge from their wallowing pity parties at home and shop their asses off at 7:00 am. In various electronic stores, families are tugging and trudging along, grabbing camcorders, computers, printers, etc, exclaiming at the deals while the kids pull on the him of their parents' jackets for the newest PS game. Meanwhile, long lines form outside clothing stores where crowds of teenage girls wait to get "good deals" on extremely expensive clothes. Of course, how can we forget the camper shoppers; the ones that bring their tents outside Future Shop at 8:00 pm on Christmas instead of spending time with their family and rush in the doors at 7:00 am to make a mad stampede for the stereo aisle.
But in this shopping season, we can't forget about the tsunamis that his southeast Asia two years ago and the lives that were stolen causing families to be ripped apart. While showing off your latest purchases today, think about the misfortunes of the people who today, still haven't gotten their homes rebuilt and be very, very thankful.
