This is XERXES. TriOptimum reminds you that there are only one-hundred-sixty-three shopping days until Christmas. An extra work cycle just twice a week will give you the spending money you need to make this holiday a very special one.

JFC even Michael’s (which is a crafting store) doesn’t have their Christmas stuff out yet! And if you’re hand-crafting Christmas gifts for the whole family, sooner is better than later to start lol

Home Depot and Lowes have Halloween decorations in already, but that’s almost kind of reasonable. Ish.

Having Christmas stuff in August is just absurd, unless it’s one of those dedicated Christmas stores that’s open year-round for some reason. (Do those still exist? The only two I knew of near me either went out of business or became online-only years ago.)

Huh, isn’t that just plastic bullshit? Why is it so expensive?

50% off in August suggests a marked up price.

I found Thanksgiving in a grocery store or two the other week, but wow. It’s a weird feeling to see it and then think the stuff in between somehow matters less. Maybe others don’t have that thought. It’s just depressing to see, or, mildly infuriating.

It’s not even Rosh Hashanah yet.
