Holiday Shopping - Do You Carry Smiles in a Bottle?

Aaahh, the holiday shopping season. Are the customers who are complaining the victim or the antagonist? Here are a few thoughts: Retail Record and Daisy Land and My Quest for Success and Room with a Moose.

On the other hand, Morons and Other Thoughts or Divas Dishing the Dirt and yes, even my Panera (their Panera?) has lowered themselves in my eyes - but that's for another time (if at all). And even without a counter between us, Life by Candlelight.

Twas the week before Christmas,
when all through the mall,
people were cursing and frowning
just look at them all.

When did it get to be so,
can't we each change our view?
We're all the same, just smile
It's so simple to do

Try this for a week,
or even a year if you'd rather
See each person as special
Looking into their heart as you gather

We're all pretty much the same,
You, me, and yes - even them over there
Don't lose your good spirit
Instead, make it something you share
