For 23 years, I worked retail, and that means the holidays sucked. Looking at decor all day long, being extremely busy each day, made for a mindset of not decorating my own home. I thought this year would be different.
I dragged down my tree and set it up. Then I pulled out my ornaments. A few got onto the tree, but my living room is scattered with the rest of the mess because I have two different kinds of ornaments. The larger ones from when my kids were growing up, as we had a full size tree. And now a small tree means smaller sized ornaments. *sigh*
Then there are presents to wrap.
Not to mention 24/7 Christmas tunes in radio stations. When you work retail, they play those things all day long. 9 hours or more every day is what we heard in store. Now that radio stations are doing it, I loaded my mp3s in the car. I just can't take it.
I had high hopes for this holiday season, but I had too much retail.... yuck.
I'm ready for January.
