Oh my, this all looks mighty breakable, doesn`t it? |
We hit the Target to pick up some much needed supplies* when something most amazing caught my peepers. Aisle after aisle of joyous, delightful kitsch. So this is the magic of the season, huh?
I have to admit I'm impressed. Countless trees were trimmed out from tip to toesies, blinking and glowing with more sparkly lights than there are stars in the sky.** So pretty and enchanting, I just wanted to pull them all down on to my head.
Then I noticed the adjacent aisles. Oh what sweet heavenly distraction I did find therin'n'upon. Despite the critical nature of my journey to this Target, I had all but forgotten it. Had I not the attendants to keep me on task, I swear we'd have left with nary a pre-required video, yet several hundred thousand dollars o' Christmas décor.
They had glass, plastic and glitter in red, white, silver and clear... well, not red in clear, but all the others for sure. It was simply a festivus to remember, if not one to forget, you know, like the other one I'm told I've lived through.***
Thank God I had people handy to make sure we got the movie, because with all the lights, angels, gleaming stars, and tinsel, I'd have gladly walked out without it. I don't know who ordered all this stuff, but they need a serious raise in their salary. This stuff is awesome.
Whether you're a supporter of K-Mart's heritage of rampant corporate fraud or Wal-Mart's legacy of non-competitive stifling, you owe it to yourself to check out Target this season. Take it from my own firsthand account, they've got everything your over-decorating, decadent, holiday indulging self could dare to crave.

** By stars in the sky, I really mean stars on Hollywood boulevard, but still.
*** They keep telling me I've seen this "Christmas" phenomenon before, but whatever. It's all blah, blah, blah and hearsay to me, man.
