Lio by Mark Tatulli for December 03, 2018

is there a Chanukah mercantile establishment? the eight crazy nights have begun already

Gotta agree with Dad on this one.

Come on, Dad! The other store will cost you less!!

Lio and his dad look like a wishbone that’s going to be pulled soon…

So combine the two and celebrate Witchmas.

Dad, go with Lio on this one. Anything with bats could be spray-painted to look like angels.

Reminds me, I want to get to Bronner’s here in Michigan. It is the most amazing Christmas store in the world. I go there every once in a great while.

“Everything must go?” Well, yes, that is how shops work.

I don’t blame Lio I’d rather go to the Halloween store too.

The Halloween store is cheaper but can you imagine the tree this year? :)

Most people go batty over shopping instead of being kind to each other. I always understood it wasn’t just one day or even just a season but that you were supposed to treat everyone with kindness and respect all the tim… HOLY CRAP! 75% OFF!?! GET OUTTA MY WAY, YOU PEONS OR I’LL CUT YOU…

Like a computer programmer, Lio thinks that oct31 = dec25.

Everyone has their favorite holiday.

Just because Christmas is in December doesn’t mean that anything bought in December must be for Christmas. Buy the Halloween stuff cheap, store it for next year, and you probably already HAVE Christmas stuff. Just wait for all the after-Christmas sales for that.

The Halloween store should have better prices, deeper discounts. Going to the Christmas Shoppe in peak season is not the way to save money, Dad….

Compromise: an inflatable of Jack Skellington as Santa Claus and a Mogwai from Gremlins.

Dad wears an undershirt, shorts, and sandals in December? What part of the country do they live in?

also don’t forget the Nightmare before Christmas.

Guess which side I would take…
