Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 There ain't none. The simple li'l laser pattern projector in my front yard gave up the ghost, so I moseyed on in to Home Dee-Pot on Monday or Tuesday to find a replacement - and found that the entire Christmas decoration section was empty. So I drove over to Lowes... they had exactly one artificial tree and a few strings of lights. Nothing else. Nada. Now I'm wondering... is everything still sitting on a ship offshore of Santa Barbara? No chance of day-after-Christmas sales this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 We have only 1/4 of our outdoor roof lights working. Guess that will be it for this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Mosby Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I was in our Lowes a couple days ago and found the same thing HC, one tree, a display of poinsettas and a few strings of lights. Even at the earliest height of the selling they had maybe 25% of the stock they used to carry. I think it's a combo of supply issues and attacks by cancel culture on our holiday celebrations.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 "Cancel Culture." It's so much easier to tear down what others have built and/or hold dear than to make meaningful contributions in life. And the b@st@rds get away with it, with accolades heaped upon them by others of their ilk. And there are too d@mned many of that ilk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cholla Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I would say COVID is still impacting the supply chain. And, after last year folks are over-doing the holidays. Every holiday event we have been to is packed. I think many are trying to make up for last year. (We are!) We put our tree up and I realized no blinking lights were left (C-7) so I checked store after store locally. None to be had. I ordered a box of 25 on eBay and had them in a few days.

Tall Tale Todd Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Hardpan, Mrs. Tall Tale and I had the same issue. Went over to home depot on 6 December and their christmas section had 30 yards of COMPLETELY BARE shelves, picked clean by vultures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
