COT Conversation: Christmas Is Celebrated In June Now, Apparently

I am annoyed.

I have not been blogging for a long time about the topic of coupon pamphlet wares, but since I've started, it seems that everything is Christmas- themed. There are so many things wrong with that.

For starters, it's June. There's a whole half a year left before it's time to even start thinking about anything holiday related.

Also, the stuff being sold is junk. Right now I am staring at an ad I am going to post about later in the week, that I not so fondly refer to as the "Kissing Rats." These furry vermin on ornaments are dressed in Christmas outfits, puckering up amid Hershey's Kisses. It's weird.

There are other things wrong here, that I'm not going to go into. Tell me what you think. Should we spread the holiday cheer throughout the year? Or would there be nothing to look forward to? What do you think is wrong with this trend?

Mickey's New York Yankees Fan for All Seasons Flags

It's Sunday, the best time of the week for Crap or Treasure- ers! This week had some awesome stuff, such as Mickey's New York Yankees Fan For All Seasons Flags, from The Hamilton collection.

"Celebrate your passion for the New York Yankees with the first-ever holiday flags honoring this legendary ballclub and featuring Mickey Mouse!" These seem to be a very personalized thing. I would think only a small percentage of people like both the Yankees and Mickey Mouse, and are willing to have a flag in their front yard telling the world. This seems to be the kind of thing that clueless well meaning relatives would give to their younger male relations, only to have it thrown out later.

Don't you dare toss it, at $29.99 each. And don't lie and say you like it if one is bestowed apon you, because you're just setting yourself up to get more. There are different patterns of flags, for Christmas, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, the Fourth of July, and more. Beware, before it's too late.

What would you do if you received one of these flags? Do you like the Yankees? Feel free to comment.
