So I'm a little disappointed in myself. I'll tell you why. My favorite season is fall. I love watching the colors of the leaves turn colors and watching them fall off the trees. I love the weather. I know weird who likes wind rain and cold...but that's me. My most favorite holiday of the year is and always will be Thanksgiving. However, Christmas doesn't fall far from it. What I'm upset about is the fact that I am slowly starting to lose my Christmas Spirit and I know that it all comes down to this...retail. Yes retail. I honestly don't think that I can consciously enjoy Christmas anymore because of retail. I work at a book store. Why? To share my passion for reading. This year I have gotten yelled at, books thrown out, called a warm bodied woman (even though myself and other people have yet to figure out what that means) and talked to like I was retarded. All because A) I couldn't find their book due to the fact that HELLO!!! it's three days till Christmas genius. B) I tried to give them a bigger discount on a book Yes that's right A BIGGER DISCOUNT! C) I didn't have anymore religious children's Christmas books because of our pagan rituals blah blah blah blah. In all honesty I'm there to find your product and if we don't have it I can order. The fact that you WAITED until the very end to get your gift is not my fault. SO STOP THROWING, YELLING, and CALLING ME NAMES.
I know it shouldn't matter much but Christmas is important to me and I want to keep the spirit. Hope your Christmas's are all well!

I can absolutely relate to this. I work in a bookstore, but my store is the Denver Seminary Bookstore. That means that 99% percent of the people who use this store are students, faculty, and staff of the seminary... and to hold any one of those positions means you have to be a Christian. The way I get treated in that store make me wonder what people really think Christianity is about. It's apparently NOT about being polite to people, or treating others kindly or gracefully. It apparently IS about never smiling, quickly becoming agitated, and disrespecting the store and its employees. It's very unfortunate. I could go on and on.
