I was privy this weekend to a particularly academic conversation between two 40-something female Christmas consumers, in the Christmas tree section of Target.
Shopper # 1 - "How about these ornaments and lights for the tree?"
Shopper # 2 - "Um blue lights and stuff? No. I don't want my Christmas tree to look Jewish."
Shopper # 1 - (not in a sarcastic tone) "I don't think Jewish people put up Christmas trees."
Shopper # 2 - "Well I don't care if they do, or don't. I just don't want mine to look Jewish!"
And this was in multi-cultural Miami. What hope have we for South Carolina?

oh my god! had I known you were standing behind me I would have said hi... you should have tapped me on the shoulder or something.
Part of my wants to laugh, the other part wants to reach out and hit someone.
Glad I wasn't there. I might have said something I would regret instantly.
I opted for the "Leather Community" tree. You know, everything black, blue, silver, chained, and clamped.
Topped the tree with a teddy bear wearing a naughty leather bikini.
It's nice to look at, but dangerous to light up.
