Alert “06880” reader — and dumbfounded shopper — JP Vellotti spotted this yesterday at Michaels, the crafts and hobby store:
A couple of things come to mind:
- Aren’t big sales supposed to happen after the holiday?
- And speaking of holidays, it’s not yet Thanksgiving. Or Veterans Day. It’s not even Election Day. In fact, there are still a few hours left of Daylight Savings Time.
Ho ho ho!


Did they have Festivus Poles, I wonder?
Making room for Easter bunnies.
Russell Stover chocolate Pumpkins were replaced day before yesterday at the local market by Russell Stover choco Santas; no turkeys this year, save
the ones governing us, of course; and those are not chocogarbed at Payless, our local market here on Whidbey Island.
