Live Free or Die

For the past few years I have been waking up at the ass crack of dawn to battle the crowds on Black Friday.  I've gotten some incredible deals, but unfortunately this year I will not be out and about shopping with the best of them.  I'm going to wake up early and hang out at home until I fly out in the evening.  So do tell, do you go out shopping on Black Friday?

Being that I like to have a healthy jump start on things, I've already made my list of peope to send out cards to this holiday season.  Currently, I'm on the hunt for the perfect set of cards to send to all my loved ones.  I'm noticing that I'm gravitating towards the Season's Greetings or Happy Holidays type of cards, completely disregarding the Merry Christmas cards.  This is a controversary that goes beyond cards and into the question of how to greet coworkers, friends and even family members.  How far do we go to be inclusive of others faiths and feelings?  Personally, I feel the Christmas cards are a little too exclusive, especially now that so many people have so many different faiths.  When I send a card I want it to be displayed or at least appreciated (seriously, sending cards out to 50 people sometimes takes days! you better appreciate it!),  I know people who send cards based on their own faith and not their recipients.  So, what do you do?  Do you even send cards?  How do you go about this whole situation?
