T vs. W: Target vs. Walmart

We have just survived another Christmas Season shopping which had a lot of meaning when I was a younger woman and easily frustrated. 

I could wrestle those carts and make know who was in charge. I cared more about those carts than was normal. Why? I was a teacher, in charge of getting things in order.

 So, being in a Target or Walmart during a holiday drives me crazy. 

 

 

                                                                                

 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. 

 Just a further note about shopping carts, here is an idea:

 Now we can fix the .........shopping cart all by ourselves.

  

What now?

 

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:

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.

What comes after?
