Christmas tangent
Dec. 21st, 2007 08:25 pmWell, I love Christmas. Scottie doesn't celebrate, but at least he didn't mind too much when I put some lights up.
I've been reading customers_suck though lately, and I am very glad that I'm not working anywhere near people during this time period. Especially retail. Why is it that people wait until a couple weeks before Christmas to buy the ZOMG hot item of the season? Especially things like the Wii, which still are hard to come by on a normal day? I bought most Christmas presents in the summer. Before I worked in retail even I started my Christmas shopping usually in the summer. Heck, I'd start Christmas shopping right after Christmas. Why wait? It just makes things so much more stressful, and I like having my holidays to be happy, not stressful times. :P
