This is absolutely my favorite time of year. Working in retail does make it somewhat bittersweet, however.  I still love the music, the movies, the feeling. There really is something magical about it. I very much enjoy shopping for friends and family. It is about the only time I enjoy shopping. I generally hate to shop, especially when stores are crowded. Even though this time of year is the worst for crowds, I’m still able to enjoy it because it is Christmas. It’s amazing to me how many people let stress and frustrations get to them around this time. This should be the time where everyone lets their problems go and just enjoy what they can.
