Christmas Shopping Hurts Baby Jesus

In response to Terry Endres' editorial ("Shopping mania dishonors Christianity", Dec 1), I couldn't agree more!  Every time I hear a cash register ring, or a little child laugh with glee in December, I shudder to think of Baby Jesus' bleeding ears!

I have taken your advice, Mr. Endres', wholeheartedly.  I have taken my 40 in. LCD flat panel widescreen television and laid it out at my curb at 225 Spring Valley Rd., West Chester, OH 45069.  It's the devil's tool!

I have taken my child's toys and burned them in a fire.  He will learn the iniquities of materialism by the light of the semi-legal bonfire in my front yard.

I had no idea retail stores were not trying to sell me Christ! All this time, I thought Pottery Barn was a nativity reference! Thank you for setting me straight!

I will no longer confuse consuming dry goods with Christian good cheer.  And I won't let anyone else do this either.  Buying is sinning!  My blow torch stands ready.

Finally, A Club For Us Rich People

It was with great joy that I read about the Continental Lounge, the new exclusive club opening in Covington.  Finally, I thought, a place for us rich people to gather and make fun of people who are... not as rich.  A place where I can avoid the likes of people who "work" for a living, and people who take out "loans." It's about time I can to a place and avoid the 21-year-old girlies - well, at least the ones who I don't pay for. And finally, a use for that $2500 g-roll I had laying out on kitchen counter all year.

Thank you, Continental Lounge.
