I am pretty late to the game, but I have fallen in love with Etsy. I was cruising the site looking for some inspiration and I discovered I didn’t need inspiration. The people with actual talent did all the work for me. I wanted to buy some nice unique gifts for my friends and family for Christmas, and I needed some help. When I was in full shopping mode it hit me. Why on Earth was I panicked about Christmas shopping in July? The answer…. Dr. Who. I got hooked on a Dr. Who marathon on Saturday and I was completely mesmerized. I had never watched a Dr. Who show and I wanted to see what all the hubbub was about. The marathon was all Dr. Who Christmas specials, so I think between The Hallmark Original Christmas channel and Dr. Who I have been brain washed. It would appear THEY are trying to cash in on Christmas in July and December. That’s just mean.
