3 Days Until Christmas


Walmart Christmas
I had to go to the grocery store today, aka Wal-Mart.  That is not the best idea this close to Christmas, but we were missing a few items for our Christmas dinner, plus the dog is out of food.  I’ve worked in retail in the past, so I generally hate going anywhere during the holiday season.  You will never see me out on black Friday, and I try to do most of my shopping online.

I do have a reason for this.  In the past it seemed to me that the closer you get to Christmas the meaner and ruder people get.  So, I was not looking forward to this.

I have to admit complete and utter surprise.  I only met with two rude people, although the aisles were packed and so were the lines to check out.  Everyone was in the holiday cheer with smiles on their faces, even the checkout clerk!  There were apologies left and right when someone was another’s way, which happened a lot.  Followed by, that’s okay, thank you; people helping other people.  I feel like I’ve moved to the twilight zone; that is if the twilight zone is this awesome place where people are actually nice to each other.

I am seriously never moving away from the rural south.  I can ignore the religious people constantly trying to convert me in return for this.  To be treated like a human being is almost like a Christmas gift all on its own.

Completely off topic… Sorry I haven‘t posted lately.  I’m just getting over being sick for the second time this winter.  Be prepared, you will hear that out of me a great deal.  I’m one of those people that gets every illness that I come in contact with.  I think I was born without an immune system or something.

Well, Merry 3 days to Christmas. 

Happy Chanukah (wow, I spelled it right the first time, go me).

Happy Kwanza.

Happy Holiday’s.          
                                
I view this as a multiple choice holiday.

Just Because
