Have you Noticed?

Holiday traditions going by the wayside. I was at the outlet mall on Black friday. very few people in sight. We used to get the holiday sale fliers in the Thursday paper. No more. No more Christmas cards either.

Makes me kind of sad. Have you noticed anything going away that you miss?

I'm actually pretty happy that Black Friday isn't as popular as it used to be. Too much hype, too much commercialization of the holidays, that's what has truly ruined the holiday season.

@akindheart I do miss the days of catalogs coming in the mail and making a Christmas list based on the catalogs. Still commercialism, but not so "in your face". Halloween was still Halloween, and Thanksgiving was Thanksgiving. It made for a more cheerful season.
