Well, it looks like it's upon us
The Christmas ad season is upon us. I've noticed a few retailers sneaking holiday references and themes subtlely into their ads the last couple of weeks, and now it looks like the gloves are off. Blatant "Xmas" advertising. Oh, what happened to the good old days when T-day kind of signaled the start of the holiday season? Silly me, year-over-year same store sales!

Youd be amazed at how many houses have Xmas lights up already.

Winter and Christmas are coming.
 I stopped by a brook this morning on my little Saturday drive...there were icicles. It was about 25 degrees here last night. |

The single post spammers are at it here, even. You'd think Wayne had a way of keeping that from happening here.

Starbucks already has already changed its cups to red, and you know what that means...
 BTW: what's this Thanksgiving holiday I've heard people speak of?

My hillbilly neighbors have their lights up (the icicles stayed up all year long). They must spend $500 per year on crap they inflate or hang from their 600sq ft piece of shi* excuse for a house. I could send my two kids to college on the $ they have spent on this stuff. Unbelievable...
