[ Edited ]

Just saw  that May 31, Q2 will have TWO Christmas show.s....

 

Early warning in case you'll be needing a second mortgage for batteries....dont' say I didn't warn you!!!

 

 

 

Looks like these shows will be unloading last year's stuff before the real push for Christmas in July starts in...

 

JUNE!!! 

 

Wonder if they'll drop the price on THIS beauty....I want six for my gift closet.....

Good grief, how many of those things did they buy?  Seems like they were in every Christmas show for months last year.  If we didn't want them then, we don't want them now.

Re: "Chirstmas in July"...starts in ....MAY?!!??!?

Serious question or thought...

 

Do you think the hosts have to start anti-anxiety medication in May so that by, say, October, when they've been selling Christmas in July stuff for 5 months already, they can keep up the Happy Happy Joy Joy until the big day?!?!??!?

 

 

Here.....We....Go....!!!

2) 1000 dollar color changing Christmas Trees with 10,000 lights and easy On/Off Foot pedal and 100 function remote. Using 10 "D" batteries.....!!!Buy one for your foyer and at least one for each kids room!!!

 

 

3) Red Truck motifs and Snoopy Throws.....you know...the stuff only a 85 year old "remembers" from thier youth....no kid today has ANY IDEA what a "red truck" signifies...

 

4) 500 ball count of Lindt chocolate in 20 different made up flavors...they all taste about the same...but the wrappers are NEW for 2024!!

 

5) Whole Christmas Dinners by Corky's, Rastelli's, Kansas City .....giant piece of grisltly meat, sides made of five cents worth of spinach or elbow noodles for 99.00 ( less than 100 dollars!!!!) and some kind of spud mystery made of potato culls and covered in some kind of mystery "sauce"....Delicious....buy the whole meal for 250 bucks!!!!

9) Heating pads....Slippers....and ...wait for it....PAJAMAS by the tractor trailer load....matchy matchy for Christmas morning pix with the family!!! ( If Dad has come home from Christmas eve with his young girlfriend and  if Mom has sobered up!!!)

 

10 )Last but not least.......drum roll.....CABIN SOCKS!!!!  The horrible polyester knee highs that make your feet sweat and completely un-bond first washing.... but they DO have 'grippies" so you won't break your neck on the way to the oven to take out the Rastelli Roast Gristle and Sides made of wallpaper paste.

 

 

Think of the time you can spend with your family while this delictious glop cooks!!!

@Othereeeen   You are TOO funny!!!  Thanks for the laughs.

 

Have to admit I have never ever watched one minute of CIJ or whatever month it starts.  And from what you've written, have no desire to ever do so.

 

Thanks again.  That was great!
