Hello Everyone!
So today I went out shopping for all my college clothing, notebooks, and fantastic scarves. While I was out with my grandmother, we decided to stop into the local craft store, Michael's. Right inside the store, my eyes were bombarded with Halloween decorations. After I walked a little bit farther into the store, I happened upon the first Christmas craft supplies and various small decorations of the season. Now, we all know that stores put out merchandise too early, BUT I am actually more excited to see these. Once the Christmas decorations come out in the stores, it's only an amount of time before those very decorations are in the malls and out on the streets! I just can't wait when the cycle starts to roll!
That being said, even with my affinity towards all things Christmas, I DO believe that August 18th is a little too soon. In a Straight No Chaser song called The Christmas Can-Can, the band says:
"Christmas season, starting sooner every year.
It's October, stores with plastic Christmas trees."
There is more that I would like to share with you but I think I'm going to save that for another blog.
All kidding aside, I actually took pictures of the displays (which I probably shouldn't have? I'm not sure) BUT the emails that I sent them in never arrived on my computer and it being 10:30 PM already, I just decided to scrap the pictures. However, just imagine all of the various Christmas yarns, crafts, ornaments, and small plastic trees that would have abounded your eyes had you walked into the same Michael's I had today.
That's just about it for today.
Until next time,
Lasagna Claus
P.S.- 129 Days Until Christmas! We've passed the 130's everyone!
P.P.S.- I went out just a couple minutes ago with my cousin in search of "Hot Fries." At the time, I had no idea what they were, but as I sit writing this very blog, my mouth is on fire....but strangely I quite enjoy the snack. Monosodium Glutamate: YUM!
Nothing says Christmas like monosodium glutamate!
ReplyDeleteWait a minute! That's not true.
