I received this ad in my mail today -- attached to some bill or something.

Past traditions, present gatherings, and future memories ... that's what the holidays are made of. To make you holidays memorable, call 555-555-5555 for your cash needs.

What part of traditions, gatherings, and memories involves cash?!? Can't holidays just be about the holiday? Or spending time with your family?

Just my vent.

That's ridiculous. I agree, the holidays shouldn't be about the money.

I agree too. Unfortunately marketers take advantage of wanting to "give your family the best" and a lot of people interpret that as material things.

I agree too. Holidays should be about spending time with loved ones, not presents that you will be paying on for months to come.

You may need cash to travel to gather with loved ones in order to make memories and share previous yrs traditions.
