Just Wrong
I took a stroll through our local Kmart today on a quest for kitty litter, a new litter box, bottle water and pepsi. As I wandered down the main aisle I saw something rather vexing.
I passed a big lawn and garden section.
Followed by the Christmas display.
Followed by the Halloween display.
Christmas. In September.
It’s just wrong.
I ordered the Beaujolais Nouveau from my wine vendor today. Three cases to be delivered on November 21st. Party on the 22nd. I’d suggest that some of you drag your sorry asses to South Dakota for the experience. I’ll even open up the guest rooms.
One of the iconic members of our community passed away last night. He was my first lawyer in Huron and one of the first people to welcome me to the community. It was a sorry day when I diagnosed him with lung cancer.
My cat was rather displeased that I left her behind when I went to San Diego. To insure that I don’t forget her on future trips she chewed the shit out of my leather laptop case. I swear I’m going to get the little rat some dog chew bones to work on.
Fall is finally here. Let the hallelujah chorus begin.

It is pretty sad when they put Christmas before Halloween. It’s even more sad when the day after Christmas and people don’t bother putting their lights on anymore, like it was something they just had to get through.
Christmas should just stay on the shelves all year long…then I wouldn’t be so fucking outraged EVERY DAMN YEAR when it’s earlier than the last….
At my store we just spent the weekend putting together dozens of trees and filling shelves with glass ornaments and various what-nots. Apparently it is just that time of year. I don’t know, but I vaguely remember the local Hobby Lobby stocking their trees and decorations back in July. That is way too early!! Pretty soon it will be the time of year where I slowly go crazy from all of the piped in “Holiday” music. Fun times are ahead!
And people wonder why I take all October to celebrate Halloween & refuse to start Xmas shopping till the first day in December. I lead my own little protest.
Fall is Fun!! It might get into the 60′s over night!!!!
I was shocked to be confronted with a christmas tree in a department store last week. When inquiring as to the timing, I was smugly told by the shop assistant that Jesus was actually born in October.
To which I replied “Ah yes Jesus. That would explain the fat man in the red suit, the tinsel, the dwarves, the commercialism and the horribly camp fairy on top of the tree that’s not really seasonal for October in Israel is it? That would also explain the snow…”
it seems that every year christmas comes earlier!! ah!!!!!!
Is this an open invitation? You won’t have enough wine if we show up, just a warning. Maybe you got rid of the wrong cat? What happened to Fat ass anyway?
