Horrible Walmart Experience

Okay, so am I the only one who does NOT like the Tiftonia Walmart?  I Always have issues when I am there.  I had some Christmas gifts that I did not want, I took them to Walmart.  I told them that I didn't know if they were from Walmart or not (although one of the gifts still had the Walmart price tag on it).  Nothing had been opened = everything in original packaging.  I was told the I needed a receipt to return the gifts.  Um, how many people give a receipt with the gift they are giving?  My family did not.  And they just flew out this morning (thus why I was trying to return the gifts after they left so as not to offend them).  So, Very frustrated with Walmart right now.  Just sayin'.

Our hearts are warmed by memories of good times shared with family members at Christmas. A time-honored tradition in many homes is gathering together to read the story of the first Christmas. Those significant events over 2,000 years ago are just as meaningful to our lives now as they were to the lives of those who first experienced them. Join us as we tell the story of Jesus from the cradle to the cross and beyond.
