Well I have to say that the Christmas spirit hasn't exactly touched my heart yet this year. Working in retail right now is perhaps one of the most stressful jobs one can have around this time of year. Now of course all occupations have their own version of stressful times but Christmas just isn't supposed to be a stressful time for anyone. Today I have had a fairly productive day already. I have managed to go down and finally buy my bus ticket home for the holiday's as well as trudging down 4th Ave. with a pretty good idea of what I was going to get Sister for Christmas! I managed to find the perfect gift and I know she's going to absolutely LOVE it. The rest of my Christmas shopping is going to be done in the next few days and I'm hoping to get most of the things I buy at The Bay so that I can get everything transferred to Vernon free of charge! What a brilliant guy I am.
