While we are on the subject of Holidays !
The retail industry has absolutely ruined Thanksgiving for us. Both my DH & DD work at the same place in the mall and it sucks. Every year its a competition to see what company can out do, out whit and open the earliest with their stupid Door Busters and Thanksgiving day/after sales. Our family dinner has went for 5:30 each year to 3pm now and it may even be earlier this year depending on what time they finally decide to open. They wait until the last minuite to even tell the employees what time they will be opening and when they need to be there. Last year we had to rush through dinner so that my DH could go to work at 5PM. He worked the entire night last year. From 5pm thurs to around 4PM the following day it was just so heart wrenching to see him be so over worked and unappreciated. I thought for sure he was going to have a heart attach. My daughter also had to work later that night on Thanksgiving day.
This s**t has been going on for years and I just absolutely hate it. From the beginning of Oct until about two weeks after Christmas my DH is on overload with resets, goals to reach, product to be set up meanwhile having unplanned visits from district managers breathing down his back. Criticizing and nit picking about every little detail.
Such an would wind of craziness and all for what ? So that little Suzy can have on more doll and Johnny can get on more video game. . . . Bah Humbug !!!
Its a good thing that I love Halloween so much. It makes up for the rest of the crappy Holidays.
The End of Rant . . LOL
