Let capitalism ring!

Red and I went shopping for a Christmas tree at Lowe's the other day- as we walked in the store, it made this old capitalist's heart sing. There was Christmas stuff- ALL. OVER. THE. PLACE.. And trees up the wicky wacky woo. Beautiful trees, not all smooshed up, either. You could see what you were getting! After you pick yours out, THEN they smoosh it up so you can transport it. And you know what? I didn't see one there that said "Made in China"on it! Brought it home, and it was beautiful!
I am not a Christmas person- not like Red is. But I was overcome with the whole capitalist/ Christmas deal, and ended up buying lights to decorate the house, and even went back and got more. And a pole thingie to string the lights up safely on the eave trough. It was great.
Today the Good Ol' Boy & Co. are going to make an all-too-infrequent trip to Columbia Mall to Christmas shop. See you there! More news later on this fast-breaking event!
