Writing Life

A periodic record of thoughts and life as these happen via the various roles I play: individual, husband, father, grandfather, son, brother (brother-in-law), writer, university professor and others.

Walmart World?



By 10:03 a.m., 26 December 2009, Walmart had pulled all Christmas cards and was beginning to stock its Valentine's Day cards. I suppose this is to be expected from such a crassly commercial establishment--in such a crassly commercial nation. Although I can't say that I was surprized, I couldn't help being a little shocked and saddened.

How quickly do we put away Christmas and move on?

I'm just thankful that this country sort of let's us have Christmas these days...As far as Wal-mart goes, you would have to drag me to go shopping there!
