Oh, my Gawd!!
Don't go out there, people! I mean it! Do not pass Go! Even if there's somebody who wants to give you $200, DO NOT GO OUT THERE!
I thought I'd just swing by Walgreens before The Game* starts, to grab some magnesium for Jim's back.
Even Walgreens is selling 6 1/2 foot pre-lit Christmas trees for $19.99. Selling quite a lot of them, too.
I never did quite figure out which of the battery operated, animated, tinny-voiced Christmas decorations was loudly proclaiming, "Glory to God in the Highest, and On Earth, Peace, Goodwill to Men," but if I had? I would have beaten it to death with a four foot plastic candy cane!
There seems to be a new trend in Christmas stockings. "Bigger is Better," or so it has been said. The Christmas industry has taken that maxim to heart this year. I saw stockings that were almost 3 feet long and at least a foot wide, proclaiming down the length, "I've been very, very, very good."
Blech and Double-blech.
*UT vs A&M, of course!
