I've been waiting on this post because it's hard to admit this town is so broke and busted. Still . . .
CHECK OUT A DESPERATE KANSAS CITY STORE ON THE PLAZA STORE THAT SELLING X-MAS STUFF BEFORE HALLOWEEN!!!
Unfortunately, this kind of cynical commercialism doesn't put me in the X-mas spirit at all. In fact, it only reveals that The Great Recession has really taken hold and merchants simply can't wait to start making something resembling a profit.
Even before the Holiday Season there's simply an irresistible urge to find ANY EXCUSE to make people open their wallets. Kansas City has always attempted to make a buck off sentimentality but and now we see people desperate to bring some kind of cheer to an economy that's clearly in a Depression.
Good place for an Aldi.
ReplyDeleteI'm already tired of Christmas.
ReplyDeleteTony,
ReplyDeleteSlight error on the headline.
I am sure yuo meant to say:
TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! BROKE-ASS KANSAS CITY CELEBRATES X-MAS IN SEPTEMBER!!! FAIL. (of course the fail in red)
That's How you do.
Please try for a little more giving us what we expect in the future
Damn fingers make that "you" instead of yuo
ReplyDeleteI thought yuo was the Chinese version of Santa!
ReplyDeleteJesus is the reason for the season
ReplyDelete8:47... tell that to the retailers. they put a display of the Nativity in their window instead of Santa and all, and they'd have a fight on their hands.
ReplyDeleteThere are stores that sell Christmas stuff year-round.
ReplyDelete1. In order to mail Santa Day stuff overseas (say, to those murdering troops of ours), you have to do it EARLY.
ReplyDelete2. In order to make money, stores have to put the merchandise out for sale sooner rather than later. (Every time a business fails, people are put out of work, right? - So, it's good to stay in business, right?)
It smells like DESPERATION....
ReplyDelete12:18 - of COURSE it's desperation. duh. seen the economy lately?
ReplyDeleteor maybe you're independently wealthy?
