Oh, come on! We are quilters, we are tough. I went out for about four hours today looking for Christmas clearance. I picked up a few gifts for next year at Kmart and even did some of my daughter's shopping since she had to work today. By the time I got to Walmart, the shelves were almost cleaned off. I picked up a few decorations and somethings we can use for my daughter's upcoming wedding. It wasn't very crowded and even the exchange line at Walmart was only 6-8 people deep. Not too bad at all.
