I remember the days when they used to put out Christmas stuff the day AFTER Thanksgiving...NOT BEFORE FREAKING FOURTH OF JULY!!! I can also remember when movies were $1.50 to get in and a canned drink was a quarter, so that tells you that I'm fast becoming an old codger. I took a deep breath and decided to brave the premature Christmas cheer.

| Down the aisle shot of all the glass ornaments. |
 |
| Nothing says Merry Christmas like a glass DVD remote ornament. I scratched my head at this. |
 |
| How lovely, the true meaning of peace on earth and good will towards men is epitomized by an iPod and 1000.00 bill ornament. I'm getting teary eyed. |
 |
| Had to blow this one up a bit...looks suspiciously like my Direct TV remote. Save the money and tie a string to your remotes and hang them from the tree and you'll always know where they are. |
 |
| This ranks right up there with the Christmas Pickle, and I do not understand the Christmas Pickle. I understand this even less. |
 |
| You're kidding me, right? Canned goods? Where's Alan Funt, this has got to be a joke. For those not old enough, Alan Funt hosted Candid Camera, possibly the best television show that has ever been. |
 |
| (Deadpan stare) Fried eggs and sausages? These ornament designers have jumped the shark. Again, for those not old enough, 'jumping the shark' is a term that was coined from one of the latter episodes from the series Happy Days when Fonzie jumped a shark on water skis. It signifies the total running out of ideas and going into the ridiculous. |
 |
| Tampons...they made tampon ornaments, with applicators. (I think that these are cigars though, instead of any feminine product, at least I hope!) |
 |
| Yes, that says 113 degrees. Hotter than sin but not half as fun. |

Oh my - at first I thought you were in Hobby Lobby, but if you were - your store has a lot more entertaining ornaments than what I saw at mine Friday evening!!
It was indeed Hobby Lobby, my home away from home.
Entertaining or disturbing, I get those two terms confused at times?
You should get people to bomb their Facebook page with protests! Christmas before Halloween is ridiculous. I don't even have a word for Christmas before the Fourth of July!!!
Much like fiction, market manipulation can be quite fun...I guess. I love Hobby Lobby as well, but THAT'S just plain weird!
I was about to ask where you were shopping and then I saw the Hobby Lobby comments. It's way to early for stores to be selling Christmas stuff! I was conflicted enough about the Halloween stuff I saw for sale in June. Half of me was excited and the other half of me was saying "But it's June!" Maybe someone is as obsessed with Christmas as I am with Halloween and will be really pumped when they walk into Hobby Lobby. ;)
I am NOT going to just "roll over& Die just Yet) There is bound to be a way to alter this "mess"....
There Shall Be Posts....
