Welcome to the Many Seasons of TJ Maxx!
January: baby, it’s cold outside. You probably need a mug. Or a dozen mugs.
February: love is in the air. It’s also in your kitchen, bathroom, and foyer.
March: more leprechauns than you will ever need.
April: same as March, only with rabbits.
May: your mom would want you to shop at TJ Maxx.
June: are you gay and graduating? This is your time.
July: celebrate freedom from not owning enough patriotic dish towels.
August: if your desk doesn’t have at least 8 storage items with descriptive words on them, are you really a student?
September: it’s already October!
October: Athens, Ohio, without the booze.
November: thankful. Gratitude. Share. family. friends. pumpkin. Repeat. Ad. Nauseum.
December: The Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Glitter.
