I think ya'll will appreciate this:
I went to the grocery store today & when I was going to check out, I stopped & looked at their magazines. There were a few different Christmas magazines – a couple by Better Homes & Gardens & I decided to pick up the Women’s Day – Best Ideas For Christmas magazine. It has cut out Christmas cookies on the front cover. When I went to pay, the check out lady had an absolute fit!!!! She said “You are buying a Christmas cookie magazine ALREADY?!?!?! Good Lord!! No wonder I am always so far behind!!” Then she hollers at the clerk behind her “this lady is buying a Christmas cookie book already, can you believe that?? Talk about planning ahead!” and that lady starts laughing & she made a comment I can’t remember!!! (Just for the record – it is not just a Christmas Cookie book, it’s a Christmas idea book!) Then the little man in line behind me gets involved. He says “your rushing the season, aren’t you??” I told them that I just like to look!! And then the cashier says “I should take you out in the lobby & take your picture with your Christmas magazine – shopper of the week!!” Then the little guy behind me says “you better check, that might be last years magazine, it's too early to be this years!” :lol: He thought he was so funny!!! I told the lady “you have them out, so I’m going to buy – if I wait, they will be gone!” and she has the nerve to say sarcastically “now you’re being realistic!” She is lucky I have a sense of humor, & that I love Christmas stuff so much, or I would have told her she just lost a sale & she could stick that magazine where the sun don’t shine!!!! Lol!!! :lol: She really was being quite funny about it - not being mean or anything, but she sure did make a scene!!!! They were still talking about it when I walked out the door!!!
