I decided to make my friends a fresh wreath out of some of the trimmings from our tree cutting this weekend...You know, the leftovers from the tree I DONT HAVE! lol

So...I stopped by Michaels and took advantage of their 50% off sales and got most of the supplies I needed...but I also needed a pair of shears to cut the tree trimmings and I figured Walmart would be the cheapest place to get them.

So, I stopped in at Walmart (whoa, where did all those people come from? Isnt this a workday??) and headed back to the gardening area...only to discover that Gardening has been completely replaced by Christmas...so I asked one of the workers who said...sorry, but EVERY single gardenting/patio item has been sent to the warehouse until January..

Um, what? But what if I want shears to make fresh wreaths? Isnt that a Christmas thing?

His reply: "Well, yes....and some people like to buy bbq's to bbq Christmas dinner...but they wont get em here. The 'higher ups' thought they needed to send 100% of those things out of the store...."

So, I am glad I wasnt hoping to buy anyone any gardening supplies or a bbq for Christmas from Walmart...and I guess I'll have to try somewhere else for the shears.
