A suggestion from Limón, my foster dog:
Boycott Amazon, Home Depot, and Target on Black Friday and instead visit your local animal shelter and adopt or foster a pet. So much better than buying stuff you don’t need that doesn’t cuddle up with you and keep you warm.

He is Christ the King. How will we serve him? He answers in a whisper, “I am the hungry person on line at the food pantry; I am the abused child; I am the convict in a prison cell; I am those living in fear. These are the faces you are to serve. They are mine! Remember them as I remember you!”

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative
