I work in retail and teach customer service. I have found that I am more engaged with people. I'm not just going thru nine hours to get to my wine. The holiday season is a booger eater. People as customers are generally frazzled and hurried. Not looking forward to that......maybe clear headed it will be better than last holiday.
Bought 2 turkeys today. Putting together Thanksgiving dinner boxes for two families. They are delivered anonymously, to families that a firefighter friend knows to be in need. We do the same at Christmas. The money we would have budgeted for our deceased grand gifts goes towards this. Giving in his memory. Crazy how just buying birds can bring a rush of emotions.....I started crying. Poor Mr3.......crazy site in big box store I'm sure.
