Retail Christmas...Not so Fun!

I have been working for about two months now at Walgreen's. Not a bad job, but not exactly a fun time to be working retail. There are some really nice understanding people and some really ornery, rude, self-centered people. We see them all. Our store is constantly busy, usually never having a break in the action! My legs and back ache from standing in one place for 8 hours, but I guess that is what I signed up for! One thing I have noticed though, is that for the most part, people make some really weird purchases even when they are spending their last dime! Those that don't have enough money to pay for their purchases are usually buying cheap little decorations or candy or something that is really not needed and doesn't make good use of what little they have. Maybe that is why they are out of money in the first place because they never learned to budget their money very well. I am just grateful for the friends and family that I have and especially for the gospel of Jesus Christ that teaches me what is really important. I am so excited to have James and Susannah come home so that we can all be together once again. I really want Marlene and her family to be here to, but I know how it is to live so far away from family. I love the music and feelings that I have during Christmastime and wish everyone a wonderful and happy Christmas!
