My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
(poor little thing)
No, actually... this was my Dollar Store Halloween costume for our 50's theme party at work.
I think I look very 50's...don't you?
(well...I was born in 1955)
You can't see them in the photograph, but I also had candy canes hooked around the belt loops of my pants, and jingle bells on my tie.
(I looked like the consummate professional)
I had so much fun walking around the store and saying, "Merry Christmas everyone!"
The children who visited the store that day, were the only ones who understood my insanity. They giggled and pointed at me and said, "Look Mommy...one of Santa's reindeer...Dumbo."
However, (and if you can believe this) a few of the adults looked at me (with this totally serious and constipated look on their face) and said, "You know...I think it's a little early for Christmas...don't you think?"
(I swear to God!)
I felt like saying, "You know...I think you need a HUGE glass of Pinot Noir to loosen up that TIGHT ASS of yours!"
*foot note: the vast majority of people who live in this pitiful city...have a ZERO sense of humor...and that's the TRUTH.
Moving on........
Anyway, since it's the first day of December, I thought I'd start you off to a fun and humorous holiday season.
And even though I'm in retail, I totally LOVE this time of the year. I always feel like one of Santa's elves, helping people to find that "perfect gift" for their friends and loved ones.
(even though December 26th - they'll be back in the store either exchanging it or returning it, so they can get something they REALLY like, annoying the living hell out of me)
But that's Retail Biz!
So, enjoy the journey of this once-a-year magical season, my friends. Because once it gets here...it'll all be over.
(and I'll be sad)
And please know, that I'll be soaking my tired and screaming feet in Epsom salts and Rosemary essential oil, each and every night.
Peace be with you, deer readers!
