That’s a great way to drive away all your high-value CHRISTMAS shoppers.

It’s early in November, not Christmas.
Anyone shopping now is not a Christmas shopper.

Captain Kirk’s command chair would make a pretty good St. Nick throne. Problem is, in the original Star Trek isn’t it the guys in red who end up dead?

Ignorant fools.
Christmas season is a historical great time for sales and these moronic, hateful, libtard clowns will cut their nose off to spite face.
Merry Christmas everyone !!!
