A season which now apparently commences well before the month of November.

I think for this Halloween I’ll dress up as a retail display full of garbage. Yes, it is garbage – I’m not just being a scrooge. No one should be obligated to spend hundreds of dollars on plastic ornaments, stupid Santa shit, and flammable ragtag easily disposed of mass produced merchandise.

Go raid your grandmother’s attic for some family heirlooms to display this Christmas. Or how about hanging up your kid’s gold macaroni and/or felt nativity scene? Those are far more important, and have far more meaning than any of these gaudy wares. Even if they do sell for the low low price of $20.
