I am not much of a shopper. This weekend due to circumstances I did something I rarely ever do, I shopped at several mall stores in several locations.

One thing I noticed right away was the change of the music in all the stores I was in.

Christian and secular tunes abounded together. Silent Night, O Come O Come Emmanuel, Come Oh Ye Faithful, Whose Child is This all rocked at the mall.

The clerks said Merry Christmas.

There were Christmas trees and signs saying Merry Christmas.

Macy's, Babies are Us, and Wal-Mart were among the stores I shopped.

It was actually festive...in the sense of celebrating the festival of Christmas.

Sometimes conservative pressure works.

Marketing.

Due to the “Trump Effect”.

People are fed-up with the lies constantly streaming from Obama and Hillary. Well, 1/2 of the country is.

Not specifically about Christmas music, but week before last, we were in a Von Maur store (I am old enough to still slip and call it "Petersen Harned Von Maur" as did my family elders) which had a very talented musician playing a piano located slightly to one side of the store. It was a rather "civilized" experience when contrasted with the rest of the mall.

Record sales were set on Thursday and Friday, with the rest of the weekend expected to follow suit. So, what happened to suddenly bring a lift to Black Friday sales after 7+ years of Obama?

1) Dear Leader’s loving and compassionate economic policies are finally bearing fruit...

or

2) ...Americans are feeling optimistic, having an incoming President that actually loves America and understands business.

I think the answer is pretty simple. It’ll be interesting to see how the Dims spin it.

Remembered soon after BO’B was first elected. In a large (Texas standards)town we happened to be in WallyWorld shopping. The store manager came on to announce the ‘specials’ and wished the shoppers a Merry Christmas; actual Christmas Carols were played. The shoppers broke out in a round of applause and whoops.

Alas, since that time, as a country we must have reached bottom and had no where to go but up.
