Back in August 1968, while a UC Santa Barbara student, in fact I *DID* see Christmas decorations and Christmas crap for sale at a big chain Department store, called "DISCO" <-----this was many years before the "Disco" craze that begain about 1975, btw.


I am really glad that place went out of business years ago, as you can imagine.


Now I despise Christmas because it is nothing more than a commerical blitz designed to maximize commercial profits.


Disgusting, I abhor it. I have a vague idea from long ago, Christmas
actually was about someone's birthday.


If possible, I would like to spend all of December every year in some place like the Maldives or the Seychelles islands to get away from all that crap.
