There is an elephant in the room, or the forums at least. It seems a lot of people are concerned about not getting the sale we wanted in our stockings from Logos this year. Seriously ?
If there's nothing is the sales that particularly interests you, consider how blessed you are already. Many people around the world simply don't have access to the bible study material's you already do, let alone basic food, water & shelter. Even people in the countries we live are struggling to make basic ends meet.
At a time of year when our focus should be on Chris's first coming and this would naturally lead us to his second coming, and the event central to both "Advents" - that cursed tree called the cross, , we sound more like the Israeli wandering in the desert in the book of Numbers. We are more concerned about what Logos hasn't put under the Christmas tree for us than what Christ did on that other tree, at least that's the impression we are giving.

Well said Andrew. I consider myself extremely blessed to have what I have - especially compared to much of the world.

AMEN! No company owes their customers ANY sales at all. We should all be grateful and consider ourselves blessed for the sales that are offered.

In my view the sales have had some solid resources that most would be blessed to add to their collections (IVP, TNTC/TOTC, ISBE, etc). I haven't needed any of them, but that's ok because I know there will be those that will be blessed by this opportunity. On top of that L5 has been a good upgrade. At least for Mac users, it is significantly faster and more refined. Life is good in terms of cool tools, but even if it wasn't, in this season we have so much to be thankful for.

I was happy to get the Lenski set. L5 is much more functional on the Mac than L4 was.
Much to be thankful for.
Every blessing

Not really. In fact, I'm happy that things have slowed down a bit. That's a pretty good Christmas present itself.

Amen absolutely right Andrew, myself I am very grateful for the privilege Logos has provided us the tools to study the Word of God, we haven't paid for PB not only that Logos has given us to access our Library in mobile devices, Logos has made more than I could imagine, I think it is better to be grateful and competent with what we have than to complain.
Blessings in Christ.
Andrew, to say that disappointment in the Christmas sales is being like Jews wandering in the wilderness just seems plain silly. But seriously, I do agree we have much for which to be thankful.
Thanks for putting it so well, Andrew. Most of the thing that have been on the 12 Days are things that I have and I have realized how blessed I am to have them.
Nice post; thank you.

Garrett Mercury:But seriously
When people complain about sales, is the right approach to be critical of them, or do as others have done and point them to pre-pubs and cp?
Garrett no analogy is perfect but I wasn't actually talking about people's feeling of disappointment, but what they are doing with that feeling - complaining like they been hard done by, and missing the blessing they have today, by looking back at what they had in the past and thinking that was better. So my analogy while you are free to call silly is much closer to Israel's behavior in the wilderness than you are implying. The point of my post was to get people stop and think what they are doing , why the are feeling disappointed, and whether how they are handling that disappointment is giving a good impression. I'll be the first to put. My hand up and say I don't alway's get it right. But I am not saying we as customers should never raise any concerns, but we should raise them about the right things. One of the things I am trying to learn to do is when I feel disappointed about something is ask myself why, what is driving that feeling. Is it simply because self is not bring gratified in the way self thinks it should be gratified, or is it something else ? Well I've put it out there is up to people how they take my challenge to stop and think about why they are disappointed about this issue.

Hmmm .... I guess having spent a career in retail, I'm not really put off by forum members that looked forward to a sale. A successful business has customers who look forward to a sale.
But no matter my thoughts on the various sale items (and Logos software features as well), I always keep in mind there's a 'million' (literally?) other Logos users, the bulk of which don't write on the forums (nor have my interests).
So no matter the forum (and me!), the 'mass' of other Logos users are what counts. I trust Bob & Co continue to worry about them (and of course the Logos employees too!).
