Given the sad news I wrote about yesterday, I am going to shift the tone.
Not because death is something we should shy away from, but because the people involved were such joyous beings – they’d likely welcome the silly rather than the subdued. With that …
So I know today represents less than a month before Christmas day, but that’s because I wrote this post ages ago but forgot to put it up.
You see I took this photo back in September.
And what photo am I referring to? This.

What the absolute fuck.
Some people would think this is still too early given it’s not even December, but September!
Now I get retail is down right now.
And I understand money is tight for everyone.
But selling Christmas in September? Worse, selling Christmas shitty sweaters in September?
The great irony of all this is that rather than put me in the festive mood, it kinda just put me in a mood … even though I bought the one on the bottom right, hahaha.
And anyone who thinks I wrote this post because I had nothing else to write about, you can feel pretty smug with yourself right now. Unfortunately.
