As a kid I just so loved the holidays, but as an adult and spending my time working retail for over 40 years now, the better half of them spent in management, I am now…… soooo sick of the holidays.
This is not a good thing when it comes to my family, since they all love the holidays. When it came to my duties of purchasing items for each season year after year it became harder and harder. After all I was ordering holiday stuff at least eight months in advance of that holiday. It was hard enough to think about that holiday so far ahead let along pick out the items that I thought would sell.
For several years it’s seems even harder with our country’s economic situation. This part of retail boosts sales anyway they can. All the retailers out there are trying all they can for sales and I get that. But it really is hard for me to see Christmas stuff out on display before Halloween.
If you ask me, at my age lately, I just can’t seem to think that far in advance.
With working retail as long as I have you would think by now I would have adjusted, sorry to say NOT! With every holiday pushed so far in advance I find it harder and harder each year to get “in the spirit” of the holiday since it had been soooo commercialized.
What ever happened to Christmas stuff not on display until after Thanksgiving? I don’t know about you but, I’m only good at thinking about the next holiday until maybe about a month before that holiday.
What’s with that?
