I worked in close proximity to our seasonal department today. I died inside a little bit today because of it. Christmas spluged all over. (if you don't understand that statement, just move on). I enjoy the Christmas holiday, it's just that it starts so damn early in the retail world that by the time the end of December comes around, when you should be really excited for it, you just want it to be over.
Everyone has their favorite holiday. Whether it's the fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Columbus Day (let's not kid ourselves on that one, not even Italians like Columbus Day) or another holiday all together. Christmas is my favorite. And I'm not even talking about it from a kid's stand point, because what kid doesn't like Christmas morning? As an adult, it's always just been fun because it's about family. We've been lucky enough to have my in-laws come visit us down in Kansas the past four years because they are retired and my brother-in-law even came over from Colorado. It's just been nice to have some family there. The second year we lived in Wichita, we didn't get to go home and no one came to visit. It was depressing because we didn't have family around and it didn't help that there was no snow on the ground. Luckily, we don't have to worry about the no snow thing anymore.
This year, I planned on not letting the early Christmas set at work get to me. And that lasted all of a week.
Dammit.
