Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 29, 2024

Never embraced online shopping anything like my kids.

I saw an actual Christmas commercial last week. Not even a mention of Turkey day so far. As a side note, I hope they’re wrong about that thing developing in the Caribbean Sea. Had enough of that kind of talk this year.

A lady down the road has Halloween decorations upand behind them are the Christmas decorations. 2 large Cristmas trees in front of the living room window. My sympathies to her husband.

Getting that first one out of the way, is a major annual event around here.

Done with Xmas shopping!!!!

Christmas shopping starts right after the back-to-school sales and Halloween celebrations start on October 1st now.

Except for immediate family we don’t have much Xmas shopping to do. Last year I got my siblings to agree that we’re getting old and don’t need more stuff. So instead of gifts we would make donations to charity. Mine’s the local food bank.

57 days until Christmas

I hate shopping so much, im too lazy to shop online.

As we age, us women understand gravity more than men do. lol

Bought Halloween candy yesterday. Ouch! $$$$$

meh, getting a Christmas present that way through the mail kinda loses it’s magic feeling. :[

Is he proud of the fact that he ordered a gift early or that he figured out how to do it online?

I though it was about picking a present off the internet rather than go to a store…

Yep, we’ve given in and joined the 21st century now.

I shop all year long. I just have to wrap them…..

For himself?

Janis has stopped listening to Arlo.

Poor Arlo…..

We have a neighbor with a huge collection of skeletons in the yard. They have been up for two weeks and he takes them down twice a week, mows and edges his lawn, and then puts them back up twice a week.

Christmas items / decorations have been in the stores since August.

I had a Dell laptop that thick 25 years ago. Need For Speed still worked on it two years ago.

Run , Arlo, run! You’re on the brink of the dark side.

We mainly men just are NOT properly appreciated!!

(That’s why I go off into the corner to cry about it.)

You’re way ahead of me Arlo!
