Good evening,
Thanksgiving is nearly hear, I can almost smell the turkey. I do have to go back to work in about 24 hours, I am really feeling anxious about the lack of sleep I will be getting over the next 48-72 hours. We have nearly finished our Christmas shopping for the boys, only one more thing to pick up for JP, and picking up the layaway and they will be done!!!!
I did put up my 6.5ft tree today and when I got home from work I put the lights and garland on it. I will leave the rest of the ornaments for us to do with the kids. As usual, I walked around the tree stringing the lights and swearing at the lights and tree, some traditions die hard, I am glad the kids were asleep, because I do not swear in front of them.
If anyone goes shopping tomorrow, please remember to thank the people working as a nice gesture, I use to work at a video store and had to work on every holiday. The people working usually don't want to be there and be away from their family. Just show them a little appreciation. I may bring some cookies to the convenience store clerk where I buy my newspaper as a way to thank them for working.
Good night everyone.
Having worked my share of Thanksgivings in retail, I agree with and understand this !! I think that would be a wonderful gesture with the cookies !! xo
