Happy? Holidays

As the the day of Christmas comes ever closer I grow more and more excited...not because of presents or Santa or even seeing Sherlock Holmes with my family. No, it is because I cannot wait for the holiday season to be over. Shocking, I know, but when you work at a dept. store at christmastime you look forward to January and February like no other. Not that I have lost the yuletide spirit mind you...a cup of wassail and Sufjan Stevens' Christmas album will put me in a festive mood but when you have to hear Celine Dion sing Feliz Navidad three times a shift while customers yell at you for not bagging their items the same way you bagged the previous customer's (true story that) Regardless of all of that though I am excited for Christmas, the family time and the gift-giving. I will tell you this though...I have already gotten the best Christmas present of all...8 a.m. classes look fantastic compared to work just now and I have never been more ready for school. I hope this thought will at least carry me until March. Anyways, Happy Holidays to my blogging friends!!!

Jack, all I want to do is see you and all you want to do is change bagging styles. I'm getting really tired of this.
