		<description>Thank you! As a Christian, I really feel it is important to get it through to other Christians how badly they need to stop believing and sending bogus chain letters. I like most Christmas commercials on TV except for the price tags of the stuff they have the families bying each other as if money grew on trees. Oh yeah, a lap top is SO definitely within the average budget for giving as a Christmas gift! NOT! Otherwise, as long as Christmas isn't actually being profaned and mocked, I like the TV reminding me that Christmas is on the way. But back to chain letters, unfortunately Christians and republicans have the absolute worst record for this sort of activity on the net and most seem completely unwilling to acknowledge it is a bad habit and why, and show no interest in changing. I think at least some of these chains may have even been started by anti-Christians as a joke at the expense of the Christians who are blindly forwarding this crap on without question. It makes me want to scream and throw things. By believing in and passing on this junk, Christians are displaying their willlingness to believe in something that comes from spammers, hoaxters, etc. For all anyone knows, the "Forward this to 15 people and your crush will call you at midnight!" chain may have been created by the very same people who started some bogus "Your religion is being killed! Save it by passing on this chain!" forward. I dislike all chain letters, even the joke variety. Received so many copies of the same Christmas joke chains over the years and they just aren't funny any more.</description>
