WTF?? Lou and I were out at the local mall today looking for drapes for the bedroom - more on that later. What totally amazed me was that at both JCPenney's and Sears they already had Christmas items on display! There were artifical Christmas trees and decorations galore (I am not kidding)....is this not the 20th of September.......more than 3 months prior to Christmas on December 25th????? Honestly, I cannot recall a time when Christmas things were out this early. I repeat......WTF?
I mean, really, come on, Halloween is still almost six weeks away. Maybe next year we can start the Christmas season in August......then July....a few more years and I say, just leave it up all year round.
Back to the drapes. We must be old school since we were looking to replace our pleated, drawstring drapes that were wearing out and the hooks were disintegrating. There was literally only one style of pleated drapes and everything is the slide type, no more drawstring. We came home disappointed and empty-handed......then Lou hunted around the garage and found a bag of extra drape parts. We had enough rings to replace the broken ones......shook the dust out of the curtains, put them back up on the "new" rings and called it good.
