Thank you for this picture, Linh. A question. Does Turkey have either Islamic holy days or festive days where citizens go on gift buying sprees?

I just returned from a Scranton School bus run and streets are packed with traffic, presumably shoppers. On a "green" signal and as my bus moved ahead of an anxious motorist looking to make a legal right hand turn on Greenridge Street, I looked in the rear view and saw a young female driver who fashioned a cute green & white Santa cap, turn hostile and throw the finger at me.

In the midst of all the programmed hustle and bustle, the DOHS signals looming Christmas terror threats, presumably after consumers have blown their entire wad and supported store profit-making to the max. (sigh) US supported jihadists and nut cases are probably required to consult calendar dates prior to activating strikes.

Merry Christmas!

Yo Chuck,

The Muslim holy month, Ramadan, is being targeted by retailers. Clothing lines put our their Ramadan collections.

The one Istanbul shopping mall I went into had a Santa Claus and Christmas trees. There were a lot of shoppers, but I don't think they were there because it was Christmas.

If ISIS conquers the west, and just like Globalist profiteers, I suppose they'll still keep Santa Claus "in" and Jesus "out."

O yes, does Germany have a special (crazy) spending day like "Black Friday"? Thank you, Linh.
