Christmas decorations up already
The grocery store and Wal-Mart here are already decorated for Christmas. I love the holiday season as much as the next guy, but can't we wait until Thanksgiving is over at least? Evidently not.

I live in a small town and if the handful of local businesses don't have what I need, it's off to Wally World.

8. I too live in redneck land
but if I can't find it at Target, or another business that I know won't turn around and automatically give it to the GOP, I do without. I haven't been inside a Wal-Mart for over 2 years now and I certainly don't miss it. You won't either! I swear......

4. I love Christmas decorations.
But I don't usually want to see them until Halloween is over. So that is fine. Fuck Wal Mart. I am done with that shit.
