Status: offline 		This is a rant. Today is October 30th and already I've seen three TV commercials related to Christmas. This ticks me off like you wouldn't believe. No wonder kids consider Christmas nothing more than the season for give me, give me, give me. They get two full months of being bombarded with Christmas commercials, a high percentage aimed at them.

I could go on and on here, but I won't. End of rant.

Status: offline 		Maybe we should give "different" types of gifts this year that detour around big conglomerates like Mattel and other companies that make cheap plastic junk in China and mark it up 10,000 %.
A friend suggested buying toys and gift items from local Artisans, that type of thing.
I'm all for that idea! Locally made leather bondage items would always be a great idea.
And, if SusanofO gets her Fudge Factory going I'll give that as a gift too.
Any thoughts or suggestions on that?
I read an article a few weeks ago on Yahoo News about how small toymakers are overwhelmed by orders this year after all this dangerous stuff comming out of China.
