| So much for Halloween candy. |
Christmas always comes to an abrupt end, it seems. For 2 1/2 solid months, the stores have been draped with garlands, dripping bright ornaments, while Halloween candy is in shopping cart marked "50% off". Carols of all types have been playing in a loop, but for some reason they have been classier this year.
Celebrating and loving with our family is a wonderful year long fest. So, pick up all that wrapping paper, down the eggnog, and finish up all those little chores.
Here is before:
 |
| Walmart sells everything. |
Here is after:
 |
| after the Christmas rush |
But, no one sees what is really left behind:
 |
| Dump site for carts from all stores There were mountains of shopping carts tossed in the field. After a month or so, these were all gone. |
Christmas is over, yes, but we will continue rejoicing for the entire year. No matter how strange and scary our lives are now, we will continue to rejoice.
After all, Christmas is only 11 months and a few days away.

It will be here before we know it!
ReplyDeleteI hope so! I may keep the tree up for a few more months.
DeleteAll the very best for the New Year, Susan. May it bring happiness and, finally, an escape from COVID. We all need that!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. Time will tell.
DeleteHappy New Year! Wow, Walmart magically turned into Target in those photos, LOL!
ReplyDeleteEh, Target is down the street from WalMart. Better pics, I think. Hope your New Year is healthy and happy.
DeleteI was wondering how Walmart changed into Target! Lol. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWow. Target had a better pic. WalMart always has cars in the parking lot.
DeleteMaybe if I have 11 plus months to prepare, I'll be ready in 2021. Happy New Year, Susan.
ReplyDeleteI will start loading up on post Christmas sale info.
DeleteWell then Happy New Year and eventually Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to do the post-Christmas packing up, but maybe we'll leave wrapping papers and ribbons out, just in case.
DeleteAt the rate the years are flying by, yes, Christmas 2021 will be here in a heartbeat! Hopefully ewe'll all be a little more relaxed by then.
ReplyDeleteConsidering how 2020 sent the months tumbling, the next Christmas should be a week, or maybe two weeks away.
DeleteDo you know I actually saw Easter Eggs for sale in our local shop!!!
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile our Prime Minister has just announced we are in lockdown again here in the UK.
Things can only get better - here's to a happy and healthy 2021.
Let's keep smiling and keep positive.
My good wishes.
All the best Jan
