Months ago DUers made it pellucidly clear

[malaise]

That when the cost of all things Christmas hit home the shit will hit the fan.

The cost of the fake trees and Christmas lights will brighten up the coming anger. 😠 Remember now MAGA Christmas has nothing to do with anything but their prosperity gospel , white nationalism, eating, drinking and shopping.

1. Funny as US farm crops are unharvested in the fields, he just dropped tarrifs on food. This winter will be ...

... one of discontent.

[malaise]

2. A "Tariffic" Christmas

Suck it up Slobby - you and ReTHUGs own this

[marble falls]

3. No crowds for Black Friday. I never go out on Black Friday anyways, but this'll be an undeiable TACO cock up.

9. You have far more faith in the U.S.'s intelligence and ability to 'fight the programming' than I do.

I hope you are correct.

[KS Toronado]

11. He's correct, plus a few of us

have been encouraging people to get any Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving. We want to
see MSM reporting on how bad the economy must be because of a terrible black Friday.

[OldBaldy1701E]

18. Hehe... 'Christmas shopping'...

For some of us... that is pretty funny. Especially when our existence is certainly proof enough of how bad the economy is. Why wait for Black Friday?

Like I said, I hope you are correct.

[llmart]

20. I highly doubt that even if it's true, the MSM would report it.

[marble falls]

23. When it bites them on the ass, theyll get it.

[liberalla]

12. Excellent! ..... "TARIFFic Christmas" ...... ! ! ! !

Should be used everywhere -- ALL the time -- through the remainder of 2025!!!

I'm just stating the obvious, but...

YOU are BRILLIANT!

17. It wrote itself

Thanks. 😀

4. I HAD to to Target for something in particular and they had a beautiful 7' fake tree with lights on.

It was around $750.


Whew. 😬

[malaise]

5. People are just seeing the prices

[SheltieLover]

6. Hillary's emails at work, or Obama's tan suit to blame?

Fucking idiots!

[malaise]

7. Not this time

No time 😀

[SheltieLover]

8. Not ever. Just convenient talking points & their jealousy of Obama

[marble falls]

24. Undocumented Screw Worm infected Mexican cattle brought up by immigrants through the "sealed border" Taco claims.

[chowder66]

13. They have a bunch that are way below that price.

It was probably a Balsam Hill or one of the other high-end companies that make them.

[surfered]

10. The cost of those Chinese Santa Clauses are going up

[central scrutinizer]

14. Our family ignores Christmas completely

We’re immune to the guilt tripping ads. For years we drew names and you gave one present ($25 max) to one person. About 15 years ago we quit that, too. No one needs more crap. Hand knitted or crocheted items are okay. Instead we collect money (sliding scale)l bundle it, and donate to a progressive nonprofit.

16. I make a wreath with scraps from the live tree sellers

and I cook dinner for a few close friends. These days I do it on Boxing Day, p the 26th.

[marble falls]

26. We use a wreath, too. We have a cat. We keep gifting casual with a high degree of hand-work.

[IronLionZion]

15. We've seen layoffs at Amazon, UPS, and others

they must be expecting less consumer demand for shopping this holiday season. Might see less air travel too because of residual issues from the ATC shortage.

[leftstreet]

25. +1

[rubbersole]

19. "MAGA Christmas has nothing to do with..."

...anything Jesus Christ would approve of.

[Conjuay]

21. My wife bought a tree from a frend who was moving cross country.

I cursed that nine foot tall monster for years insisting it would give me tetanus- (which it probably will still do).

But reading this article and comments, I guess a tetanus booster is a reasonable
alternative to replacing the 🌲 🌲 🌲
tree.
