Today is: Perfect for a Day After Christmas sale!

On the day after Christmas
My true love gave to me...
Nothing! It's not a damned holiday!
For God's sake, people, pay attention!

Is it just me or does the day after Christmas make you want to just kick the everloving crap out of random rude assholes more than any other day of the year. For crying out, even Christamas week, the few days before when everyone is doing their last-minute shopping because they were either too lazy, forgetful, drunk, or various combinations of these isn't quite as annoying as the day after Christmas!

All the sales that turn so many people into Savings Whores is a pain in my ass! It's like everyone out there at the sales is saying, "Hey, Santa I've been good. This is a sale, dammit! All the rules are off! I don't have to be nice again until next year, so if you try to beat me to the 10% off special nuclear-powered toaster oven with sellf-cleaning crumb tray that I thought was ugly, pointless, and stupid until I saw the 10% off I will kill you if I have to!"

I guess what I'm trying to say is that people are generally decent until THE ULTIMATE HOLIDAY SALE! commercials start popping up.

Whoever came up with the concept of holiday sales should painted white with their mouth duct-taped shut and thrown in a bin full of towels and washcloths with a 50% OFF sign and be left to be torn to shreds by two or more 400+ pound women fighting to get best deal. Maybe I'm just pissed because I had so many jobs in retail.... NAAAH! I'm just right, dammit!

Deep thought for the day: Only 364 days until next Christmas! YIPPEE! Start shopping now! The power of Marketing Genius compels you.
