Just one more week... one more week....
I've got most of my shopping done, just need a few more things before getting the little bit of groceries and fruit to put in the kids stockings.
Still not liking the massive hordes aka holiday shoppers *insane bunch of fucks* Yes, you read that right. I said insane. Shortly after dropping off another parcel for Will, I decided I'd get a little more shopping done - sounds harmless enough - boy was I wrong. No sooner did I step foot near the food court entrance, didn't I have at least 3 people try to run me over trying to get into Footlocker *excuse me peeps for being in your way* - it was crazy. I will say one of the three did come over (while I was standing in line at Timmy's) and apologize for nearly running me down.
The other thing that drives me nuts is the music. I mean holy frig, bad enough the malls start playing Christmas music the day after Remembrance Day, but does it have to be the same 5 songs over and over again. Excuse me, they're not the same songs, just different artists performing their cover of the songs. *facepalm* Let's see, if I can say this without popping a blood vessel? hmmm.... "I'll Be Home For Christmas", White Christmas", "Hark, the Herald Angel Sing", Santa Baby and "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year". The sad part is there wasn't a "Jingle Bells" or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer within earshot - other holiday tunes played to death.
No sooner did I get home and drop off the gifts, I decided to head to the grocery store *another less then bright idea* The place was wall-to-wall people and only 4 out of 10 aisles open, which is strange since the store announced that it's now open 24 hours to accommodate "our festive needs". So instead of fighting for an aisle I'd decided I'll do my grocery shopping either Friday or Saturday when there's less people - yeah, I know - good luck.
So anywhooo.... I took a walk around to see if there were any special (there were a few), then after their canned announcement those same 5 songs started playing. *arugh!* I know, I'm not the only one these songs are getting too, the poor cashier nearly broke out into tears. I felt sorry for her, because she was working the graveyard shift until 5am. As I was leaving I heard her mutter, "Just one more week... one more week...." - I had to agree with her.
Sorry, if my little rant about holiday music has offended your Christmas spirit, but whatever happened to the other songs out there? Why do they just have to be the same 5 songs, can't there be others played to death while people are shopping?
