Only a week left for shoppers to participate in the retail frenzy otherwise known as Christmas. Shoppers not just trying to find the perfect gift but the perfect gift on sale. Too much pressure. No wonder people have that glazed look.
One toy store is staying open for 88 hours straight. Marketing departments have given up on cleverly naming the numerous sales. Now it's just Monday Sale! or Wednesday Sale! Black Friday and Cyber Monday seem so long ago.
Perhaps I might make a gift suggestion: the President Obama Chia Pet. Frankly, I don't know whether to laugh out loud or shake my head at the disrespect. After all, the Washington, Lincoln and Statue of Liberty versions are also available -- on the same shelf with SpongeBob.
The creepiest thing about it is that, "in bloom", it looks like he's sporting a lush green Afro.
Kitsch to the nth degree? I think liberals and conservatives could agree on at least that.
