You miss the whole concept of Christmas! It IS about commercial value and shopping. Not trying to stir up the religious zealots...just pointing out part of the traditional holiday message. Read the Bible. The birth of Jesus led to the first shopping spree as the Wise Men hit the local shopping market and snagged some cool gift items. Gold was at a jeweler offering a 70% off sale, frankincense was picked up at a trendy perfume shop, and myrrh was found at one of the first Bath & Body shops. The wise men, as implied in the Bible, were respectful of the others' shopping and did NOT go to the same shops. The WM traveled by night and obviously shopped at a late night sale...the FIRST BLACK FRIDAY sale. The Magi were later designated by Pope Paul III in 1545 AD as the patron saints of shopping. Yes, it sounds silly, but history is often full of ridiculous events.

This laptop was a "door buster in store only " and NOT available on line at any price....but TODAY (Nov 26) Walmart web site shows "Available in store only, price may vary by store". In my area, about half the local Walmarts show as in stock. My guess is, employees have them set aside for friends but if a manager see the item as "in stock" they will find it for you. Unknown at what price. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Compaq-15.6-250GB-CQ57-229WM/16662274 Note price has been deleted and you need a zip code to see if available
