Katelynn and I did some shopping on Saturday afternoon. We weren't looking for anything important just some household items and if I saw a possible X-mas present for anyone on my list I thought we would grab it.
I think I had all but one of my Halloween decorations down and put away the night of Halloween after we turned our lights off and put Katelynn to bed, I was already done with that holiday - on to the next.
After arriving at Target, our first destination of the day, I decided that I would look for some Thanksgiving decorations because I don't believe I have any, other than the traditional nut bowl. Katelynn and I are strolling through the X-mas extravaganza that is already all displayed and I overhear an old couple stating they can't find any Thanksgiving decorations. I thought to myself yeah, okay the old pissy lady just hasn't walked to the right area of the store, but I'm going to find me a stuffed animal Turkey for Katelynn. First off anyone who is a Target shopper knows that strolling through the entire store is a no-no, you will never get out of there for less than $100, but I was on a mission.
*Severely discounted Halloween crap - check
*Extravaganza of X-mas crap - check
*The time of the year Thanksgiving decorations - none.
No Thanksgiving anywhere - what the hell ? At this point my cart is full so we decide to give up in defeat and we go through the checkout and of course it's over a $100 - hmm, Daddy hunting and I'm home alone, I think he should pay for this one - done and out of the store we go.
I have not total given up on getting my Turkey for the house so we head over to Kohl's. Kohl's will not let me down on this one, I am assuming they have the X-mas crap out, but they must have something for Thanksgiving too. We take our own stroller in this round (can't take the chance of loading up another cart of crap I don't need and don't want Dan to see). Into the store we breeze through the clothes section, I still have yet to figure out in Kohl's if I am in the Junior section or the woman's section, I am somewhere in between which I can never find. We steer clear of the shoes and whiz past the pots and pans (it's not pampered chef), through the bedding section and maternity (whew, don't miss that one) and we start to see the light!
*Discounted Halloween crap - check
*X-mas extravaganza - check
*Thanksgiving - nothing -
What the hell, where do I find a damn Turkey for my kid. Beaten out again. Now mad that I've walked 5 miles through 2 stores to no avail out the door and I am not buying a damn thing.
Again I ask, What Happened to Thanksgiving?
