Yay the Christmas season has arrived! :)
So, here's a question: Why do people have to swarm the stores right before snowstorms? (Which could be interpreted as a tongue-twister if you read it out loud...) Somehow I think people assume Y2K is happening all over again, and they have to buy all the provisions they could possibly need for a year. The fact that I went shopping on the Saturday before Christmas only added extra people to the mix of snowbirds. It's miraculous though. What - you can't wait until Monday to eat the cheese that you so wanted on your crackers?
While out on my Saturday-before-Christmas shopping trip, I also noticed the exorbitant amount of wine that people bought the day before a snowstorm. This is most likely because Christmas is coming up this week and they need their holiday brew... but still. It gave off the impression that they were going to sit at home and get a little... you know. They might get to the point where they wouldn't recognize the white stuff falling outside. "What are all these cotton balls doing outside, honey?" "Oh, I don't know - I thought it was manna or something..."
As a kid, I never understood Santa Claus. Supposedly the elves make all of the toys up at the North Pole, and Santa delivers them to all the little boys and girls on Christmas Eve. Yet I always wondered why the stores bothered to have huge sales if Santa wasn't outsourcing...
Merry Christmas everyone!
