Christmas In September

I'm a little bored and burned out today. I can't seem to think of a good Squidoo lens to make and I am drawing a blank artistically so I decided to head to the mall. Now I don't go to the mall that often and I made some interesting observations while I was there.

First of all there are way too many clothes in the world. Our mall has 2, yes 2 Dillard's Department Stores. One for men and one for women. I was in the men's store to find some work clothes for my husband. Let's just say that I felt like I was drowning in a gabardine aquarium. There must have been over 100 different pairs of pants to choose from. HELLO! I can't handle that many choices. I started to get dizzy so I left with few pairs of shorts that I got for $4.50 each. Not bad but I still have a headache.

My second observation is that Christmas now starts in September. I seem to remember when I was young that Christmas came after Thanksgiving but I don't think that's the case anymore. I was at Macy's and the heavily perfumed sales people were festooning the place with Harry & David Holiday Chocolates and Christmas Trees. The unfortunate part was that they had these big boxes everywhere so that you had to basically squeeze through the store like a mole in a tunnel. I did get a jacket for my husband for $4.50 so that made up for the hassle I guess.

By this time I was sick of the mall so I got a taco from the food court and headed home. I think I go back in December when it's Valentine's Day.
