Christmas Eve in Retail
My first "real" retail Christmas
This story happened the Saturday before Christmas one year. Fun Fact: I was hospitalized that same day for what turned out to be strep throat.
Holidays in retail
I post this often, but it still works. It's my song about the only time retail workers can enjoy Christmas: from the store closing on the 24th to the store opening on the 26th.
The Lyrics:
Doors are locked/ nobody died
Where's the booze?/our nerves are fried
Looks like we made it/ though there were some near misses
There's been a ceasefire/ in the war on Christmas
Chorus: But we love Christmas/oh yes, we do
And not just cause Jesus wants us to
We love Christmas/but the best part of the day
Is knowing it's a whole 'nother year away
Second Verse:Returns are coming/ they can't be beat
Disappointment and lost receipts
But that's tomorrow/ to deal with that aggression
Now I've got my greatest gift/ A day without stupid questions
Chorus again add
since it's a leap year it's an extra whole day away
