Every year I'm wondering who is buying all these Christmas decorations. Did they just chunk out last year's stuff?! We had the exact same decorations in my home for decades.

Also, those people are morons. You can buy all that shit for 75% off the week after Christmas. One time my wife and I hit Walmart and loaded two shopping carts for cheap. On top of that, thrift stores sell that junk for pennies. Who pays full retail?!

There are "new trends" every year.

"...and lo, eventually Capitalism and Christmas shall merge."

I think it's in the bible somewhere.

My mother can be like this. It's exhausting.

She's slowly starting to learn, and not actually buying the things that catch her eye... But they still catch her eye, and it's impossible to pull her away while she's going through the process of going from wanting to buy, to realizing she actually doesn't.
