Hazel: Just 86 Shopping Minutes to Christmas Episode Episode Summary:
Dorothy discovers a mink coat in the house and jumps to the conclusion that it's a Christmas gift for her from George. She is unaware that Harry had bought it for Rita and asked George to hide it for him.
If you hate *commercialism* that much...then find a local women's or women's and children domestic abuse or homeless shelter, find out the names of those there and donate to those individuals directly! At least then you KNOW you have done God's work and blessed someone in definite want and need!

Even one of thee world's richest, wealthiest, most affluent and influential women, the late, Brooke Astor broke camp and stopped writing checks to charities and gave directly to those who needed it most but not before first actually visiting the person or family in need! She despised charities who only wanted her to blindly write checks and allow them free reign to do whatever they pleased with her money! Charities HATED that she would physically go into the ghetto to see her money at work!

I just hated the fact that Hazel always put others before herself and believed that it was always her place to SERVE and not to be served. That's why she was always alone! Plenty of those old, rich men who stopped would have dated and probably married her under any other circumstances but they couldn't have a wife who would take offense at not being allowed to be a servant to all who'd come to their house...or those whom they'd visit! Heaven forbid, she started washing the damn dishes!

@1michael4--Even on the M on 34th, the little girl learned the *true* meaning of Christmas giving and receiving and stopped being so cynical and unbelieving towards it....

@1michael4---Charity...begins @ HOME! The first law of nature...is SELF preservation and as much as the *intent* of charitable agencies are created to address...have you SEEN what the CEO and officers of said agencies receive?!? I wouldn't give another DIME to the Salvation Army now that I know how they operate! I for one HATE those fkkng bell ringers! I don't like being guilted into giving. If I'm going to give money, I'd rather give it and KNOW its direct beneficiaries!

I think there are two types of viewers who watch these videos: those who think it's sweet, fun nostalgia and those who love it's campy, retro-cluelessness. It's far worse than "upstairs downstairs" or even "downton abbey". Hazel has no proper healthcare or retirement but she'll go in hock to give Missy a fur coat @1michael4, those writers might have been on drugs but they sure werent working-class women!

So let me get this right... The point of this show is that we SHOULD squander money on each other at christmas, give in to commercialism and not give to charity. What drugs were the writers of this show doing? This certainly isn't Miracle on 34th Street.
