Christmas is over........... Well we surived another great Christmas Season. I have a love-hate relationship with this season! On one hand
I love my customers, and it is a chance to catch up with the ones that I haven't seen for some time. I love the excitment
in their eyes when picking out the perfect box of chocolate for loved ones. The busy season goes by so fast. By Christmas
day I am completly exhausted! The part that I could do without is the long days... But without them we couldn't exsist. The crazy thing is that on Christmas Eve when I am supposed to be sleeping I am thinking of all the new things I
can do for the new year, spring cleaning, goals, and new products to invent. You would think that I would put my mind
on vacation for a little while... at least. Well.. our next big holiday is Valentines day! Everything goes into
pinks and reds throughout the store! Women come in the first three weeks of February, and the last three days are mostly men.
It never fails.. men come in totally panicked trying to remember their wives favorites...under extreme pressure. We do our
best to help them, and they usually leave feeling great relief! Kids come in with just a few dollars trying to stretch
them to get the perfect gift for their mothers. Young men come in with a lovey-dovey look on thier faces getting large red
heart boxes for thier teenage girlfriends... they are so cute! I love my job, and I will write more soon... Sweet Dreams!
