I was just asked to write a column for Classism Exposed on money and power in the holiday season. It was good to reflect on all the things our family has tried over the years to equalize our giving power and avoid the worst of the materialism that comes at us so relentlessly. We haven’t gone as far as those original Quakers, but I think we have at least provided a buffer for our children. http://www.classism.org/gifts-power-money

You make a great point that Black Friday uses the hype of artificial scarity to trigger the gambling impulse. It seems so obvious now that I think about it, but I’d never considered that before.

I strongly recommend all Quakers to buy and watch, with a group if at all possible, the DVD “What would Jesus Buy?”.
Every meeting should own one copy for their library. You can get it on Amazon.com.
Merry Christmas
