I took my daughter shopping for the after Christmas discounts. Where did all of these people come from? Didn't they spend all of their money on black Friday? Now, there was no pepper spray or beatings but they were all just angry...tired but still angry. You've seen the type, trudging along, feet dragging, hauling their newly discovered treasures that two days ago were $50 and today were $ 4.99. Why are they still angry? Aren't they saving a lot of money? Or is everyone ticked off that two days ago they spent so much? Well, don't be a part of the big holiday game. Really, if it makes you so angry, why do you do it? How about celebrating the actual holiday next time? Remember the reason that we were doing all of this in the first place? Does anyone really enjoy the frantic shopping, scurrying from place to place ripping things out of the hands of some weaker shopper and running to the nearest cashier, hoping your credit card won't be declined.
We watched people dragging small children around, screaming. I watched my daughter's face light up when she discovered some item in her size and color. She went cheerfully into the fitting room and tried it on and VIOLA! Gorgeous. I waited in line for a month or two and paid for the item...thanks mom, you are the best. There is no need to be testy about any of it, after all we bought chips at this table. If we don't like the game, don't play. And remember. only only 364 shopping days till next Christmas...smile, life is too short to waste one minute on senseless anger. love and peace to you all....
