I know that today is Money-Wise Monday, but since today is also Remembrance Day in Canada, I would like to skip my usual Monday post in order to honor all the people who died in Wars for our freedom. Without their sacrifice the world would have been very different today. I wish more people remembered that Remembrance Day is not just this holiday stuck between Halloween and Christmas. It really annoys me to no end when people put up their Christmas lights before Remembrance Day. I understand that it's not a big commercial holiday like Christmas or Halloween, but I wish they would respect it more. If not for all those people who sacrificed so much going to war, most of us would not have the freedom to overspend on frivolous decorations and the billions of Christmas lights that you just have to put on your house on the first of November. Makes me wonder how many people are leaving the stores with tens of dollars (if not hundreds) in Christmas "must haves" but they don't bother donating some money to organizations that support soldiers and veterans. I, for one, will not be decorating my house for Christmas until after Remembrance Day to show my gratitude to all those people who selflessly keep peace for all of us!
