Call me Scrooge....


I'm just not feeling the holiday spirit.

I think retail has a way of sucking the holiday spirit right of you....

So, I decided wrap Christmas presents tonight. A bigger task than I had thought when I first started . Once I started pulling them of all the nooks and crannies that I'd had them hidden in I was surprised at how much I'd accumulated.

Good grief, I spent the better part of 2 hours wrapping those damn things.

I'm feeling confident that I'm close being done, though.

things are coming in the mail via Amazon and a few stocking stuffers to go and we're golden!

more Christmas the belt.....

    I always look forward to the day after Christmas when it's all done.
Oh, but not in my world.... That's return day. Possibly worse than Christmas Eve last minute shopping!

As of today, yes I am. I talked with the Ex-Husband this morning and he's picking up the last couple things from my daughter's Christmas list. Phew!

    I agree with you. Christmas just doesn't feel like Christmas anymore. Everything is shut for just one day only, unlike the old days. Bring ba I the old days that's what I say. Let Christmas feel like Christmas again
Nope, Christmas doesn't feel like Christmas. I don't mind the working so much.... It's the customers that get to me. It's NOT my fault you spent more than you can afford and time is running out. Suck it up, Buttercup.

    Christmas is overrated and makes more people depressed than happy, especially when single.
It definitely makes me more depressed.... I hate this time of year, every year.

    I feel exactly the same way, the holidays kind of seem just like another day
I feel bad for my kids as they are ultimately the ones who deal with my depression during this stuff. It's supposed to be a magical time of year for them.... And I have a hard time pulling myself out of bed to be around people on a day off.

It's definitely all about sales.... Daily talks about P&L and labor and being short staffed because we sent people home when we weren't meeting labor projections..... Ugh!!

    Hi secret_lade

    for so many peeps, I start our Christmase conversation with: "We're not exchanging gifts this year, right...", and I always get consensus

    takes so much pressure off

    then, I ask my peeps what they want, gift cards or gift cards, from where

    so, easy

    now, for the little peeps, I have to ask parents and then, sometimes end up with gift cards and quirky stuffing stockers tha tey cannot deny

    it's ok

    take a deep breath, and love the ones you're with

    made me think of this

    Natalie Hemby - "Perfect Gift"

    I never wish for Christmas snow
    Red ribbons and velvet bows
    Like ornament singing from the Tree
    You're the perfect gift for me
    Decorading with the bridest smile
    Just like a present makes you feel like a child
    You're everything I colud ever need
    You're the perfect gift for me
    Top of the list so I can't decide
    Should I wrap you in my arms or keep you as a superise
    I give you the world but to my concerne
    All I have is a heart to love you in return
    I hope that Santa is coming soon
    With a present that look just like you
    Told him our secert and he agrees
    You're the perfecr gift for me
That is the sweetest song.... I needed to see that, thank you for stopping by. It sounds like you have Christmas down to a science! This year I only did presents for my kids, scaling back a little.

Hopefully, if you are naughty, someone will pump you full of new Christmas spirit.
