Unreasonable Christmas Gifts?

Neiman Marcus recently released it's 2006 holidy catelog, and let me tell you, these gift ideas are completely outrageous. How often to do you spend $1.7 MILLION dollars on a gift? This year, one of the many gifts presented is a 63 mile from earth, space ride. This trip holds six passengers, and upon their return they receive an all inclusive four night stay on Virgin Chairman Richard Branson's British Virgin Island retreat.

Another of these outrageous gifts include a sports fanatics' package deal. This gift includes six tickets to large-scale sporting events, including Super Bowl XLI and dinner with many celebrity athletes as well. The cost starts at $250,000 and is auctioned to Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation.

How far is too far when it comes to Christmas presents? I don't know about you, but "wow" is the only response I have to this topic.

"WOW" is the perfect word to describe it. Each year Christmas gets more expensive, parents compete with other parents on how much they spend for their children. Even though it would be great to go to the Super Bowl XLI, $250,000 is too much for a christmas gift. Christmas is losing its real meaning.
