Announcing the 2016 War on Christmas [View all]

So I was at the Walmart yesterday afternoon, looking for a can of paint. I entered via the garden center. Uh-oh; it's not the garden center anymore.* It's the Christmas shop.

Artificial Christmas trees (it's still too soon for real ones). Some newfangled laser thiny that makes these moving patterns of snowflakes on a floor or any other surface, like your little brother's retina. On and on and on.

Not "holiday" displays. Christmas displays.

It's on.

* Yeah, but they had these swell potted cabbages and kale plants outside. I didn't see the price.
