What a find going a bit out of control is the push for Christmas sales getting earlier and earlier, as in Christmas songs in malls and stores and offices a week or two before thanksgiving!? To the point now, with this new iPhone/millennial/Facebook/whatever generation, when they go out and buy a nativity set for Christmas decoration, this is what they're getting.

The "Hipster" nativity set! Times have seriously changed!

I ran into a DollarTree the day before Halloween because the wind/rain had messed up our spiderweb decorations. They had replaced the Halloween stuff with Christmas stuff.

Unbelievable. It used to be nothing Christmasy until AFTER Thanksgiving. Now it's after Halloween!

Post your Turkey stats!!

Store: MarketBasket
Turkey: fresh
Stats: 23.04lbs @$0.89 = $20.51 <- LOL!! So little for so much.

Good price you got there for a fresh store turkey. Normally only frozen sale is in that price region here in Canada unless you are really in the know with some farmers. I have shares in a co-op that give my my turkey (around 20 - 25 lb and they market it to others at around a dollar fifty per pound, but its quality bird) and various other products they make year around, they are on the house for thanksgiving and christmas. US thanksgiving I mucho off my vermont side (gf) family...about to drive down there right now .

Last turkey I directly bought some years back now was 77 canuck cents to the pound and the bird was 30 pound region I think. That was a good feast, everyone brought something to the meal (pumpkin pies, desserts, roast spuds, sides etc). Love this season of the year.

for Christmas sales getting earlier and earlier

Its pretty darn stupid. I aint submitting to this BS.....I buy lot of my gifts completely off season to begin with.

In a local town called Sudbury, police pulled over a car that had just a little too big of a Christmas tree on it.

In Sudbury it’s too big for the car...but not too big for the house.
Median income is $170,000.

True. Wonder how he/she saw the blue lights behind them?

Probably when the cop pulled up beside them rolled the window down and said “WTF??“ BTW it says he let them go after securing the tree better.

This is pretty hilarious @Hamartia Antidote

The most searched how to spell word from people living in Massachusetts is the word...Massachusetts! lol

Desert, Cancelled & Gray seem to be the most common searched words.

LOL it's Mas-sachu-setts. You learn that in school like the Mis-sis-sippi song.

Plus you remember that a "dessert" has extra sugar in it compared to a "desert".

Those are good. I admit I have a tough time with words like Tenessee, or is it Tennesee, or Tennessee?
BTW, notice New Hampshire? Why is diarrhea looked up so often up there? lol

Good snowfall so far today. We've got about 3". Let's see if they called it right and it reaches 6"-8". Snowblower and shovels are all ready, fun fun fun.

I wasn't sure how much snow we were going to get so I ran out to MarketBasket. Got to the door and the sign says open 7-9. Look at my phone and it says 8:59. Walk in and there's still 100+ shoppers inside. They were pretty nice and stayed open for another half hour.

30+ years and I still have to double back or spell check Massachusetts. I still can't get over New Hampshire (I thought it was Vermont at first) how they look up 'diarrhea' most often lol. Something's not right in the Granite State.

@Hamartia Antidote You might kill me for this but I always had the impression you were from the Connecticut. Don't ask why.

Probably the poor quality stuff they pass off as maple syrup down there.
