Thank God it is over!

[Ebenezer Scrooge]

I don't have to hear about Christmas for 11 months!   

[sunlight]

I know! Isn't it going to be awesome?

(unless you count all of the people talking about returning stuff, getting on sale stuff for next year, or stuff like that...)

What's the matter Scrooge?  Didn't like your coal?   

[Lynx]

He didn't get any coal this year, it is getting too expensive. 

Usually we would get only 9 months reprieve before hearing about Christmas, as the stores start pushing holiday sales earlier and earlier every year.  But next year is an election year, so most of what we hear will be election junk right up until November.

I will be starting a new job in the Obama Administration. I am in charge of the military.

Enforcing the right to strew political ads all over every media, no doubt.

A brawl broke out at the Mall of America yesterday, my kids saw part of the riot and were happy to get out of there with no injuries. After that, I think we are glad it is over too.

[Lynx]

Yeah, for real.  I heard there were lines out the door at Wal-Mart for the half-off sale yesterday at 5am.  I was planning to be there because A - I really like good chocolate for half price and B - there usually aren't more than 10 or 15 people there the day after Christmas that early.

I'm almost glad I was feeling sick yesterday and missed the sale...

Thank God and Greyhound it's gone.....

363 shopping days left!

The Mall of America thing was pretty weird; they now think it was a flash mob.
