Another Christmas

Now that the crush is over even my whiskers feel tired. Every
year it takes longer and longer to recover. Every year about 3am
on Christmas Eve I tell myself that I am really getting too old
for this. And then, every year I can’t wait to do it all again.

I know the feeling: I have just survived my fifth consecutive
Christmas at a retail jewelry store. Now come more fun-filled
weeks of cleaning up the end-of-year paperwork–always a major
bucket of thrills . . . .

Of course, a couple of Christmases from now we will be facing
the full impact of the Year 2000 computer mess. Look at the
bright side: at least a global catastrophe will be a change of
pace. :slight_smile:

Over? Now comes the sizing.For at least the next three weeks,
and everybody wants it now! But February is comming and it is
usually slower. I suppose I really should be happy,Job security
ya know. I just get so drained with all the custom jobs for
Christmas. I really want everyone of them to be the best I can do
and with a deadline like Christmas it is Stressful.It makes it
really hard sometimes to enjoy the real meaning of Christmas.
