DISCLAIMER: None of the F’s in FFFW stand for “facts.” Enjoy the satire.

It’s Black Friday! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. And I really hope you didn’t pretend to enjoy turkey. Let’s face it- it’s not that good.

Fridays left til Christmas: 4


Homesteaders Makes it Rain?

What’s better than a 25 bps increase in growth on your preneed block? A 30 bps increase! Homesteaders is excited to announce one of the industry’s highest growth rate increases – an average of 30 bps on all new business, beginning March 15. Learn more.


Game Time

What year did the term “Black Friday” first appear?

NOTE: click your answer. If you get a Santa- you’re right. If you get any other GIF- you need to try again.
a) 1975
b) 1910
c)  1951


Best Christmas Movies

We got four weeks to celebrate Christmas together! So we’re going to kick it off this week.

I consider myself a Christmas expert. So to get the season rolling- here’s my list of best Christmas movies ever.

1) It’s a Wonderful Life

This might just be the greatest movie ever. Watch and be inspired.

2) The Muppets Christmas Carol

Yes, they’re hand puppets, but they show the heart and warmth of Christmas inside this adaptation.

3) Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
Better than the original, and Joe Pesci is still amazing. We might talk about more later, but that should be enough to get you started.


Death Count Site Shows All That’s Wrong With Black Friday

*This article was written by Particia Hartley in 2019. Still Holds up.

For some, lining up outside a big box store on Thanksgiving night is an exhilarating holiday tradition. For others, the event is an evil scourge that lures prey with $149 XBoxes and $399 4K TVs and tears retail employees away from their family celebrations. There’s really no in-between. You either love Black Friday, or you curse the day it was invented by greedy corporate Scrooges.

No matter how you feel about Black Friday, though, there’s no escaping the fact that it can be deadly. If you need proof, just check out this Black Friday Death Count website. Against a stark black background, this single-page site keeps a running tally of Black Friday deaths and injuries.
