Boston.com, a largely consumerism based news source, has geared up for the impending holiday shopping.

The featured story pertains to to new laws restrict shopping times on Black Friday. Beneath it, links to stories on unique gifts and a slideshow of the must-have toys of past holiday seasons appear.

This news is headlined above a feature on Saskia Epstein, sister of former Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein. The story focuses on her troubled adolescence and the work she does now with her nonprofit Room to Grow.

The home page also features a story on the top 50 scariest movies. This holiday special seems ill-timed and it is hard to find cohesion on the homepage. What holiday is it? The mast features pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, the stories are on holiday shopping and scary movies are still at the top of the page.

I don't know what they want me to read.
