Saturday I had to work and also decorate my store for Christmas. Right now I am doing all the prep work for the colonoscopy I am to have tomorrow…and it is as dreadful as everyone has ever said…but the good news is I will feel thinner at least….got my cleanse in.
What does it entail to decorate my store you ask?
Well, take fall downs and take to storage unit….get christmas things out including a tree bigger than me. How did I get it in the truck? I still have no idea. Then I had to get the nutcrackers in the truck as well….I couldn’t have any of the girls help me because they were busy with work.
It took me the entire day. I started at 10 and finished around 3:30….sold two rings in the process and had customers pick up jobs. The store was a mess and we apologized but most people were excited….said they were going to be doing the exact same thing soon…..
Then…..Grumpy Gladys came in….complaining that I am decorating before Thanksgiving. Thankfully my staff is better at handling this than me. They said this is the only time we have to do it.
Because our store is already selling Christmas gifts….I am not going to spend my Thanksgiving decorating my store and when should I do that? Black Friday? Small Business Saturday? Exactly when do you think it would be a good time to decorate Grumpy Gladys? Clearly, you have never owned a retail store!!!
It takes zero dollars to just let people decorate when they want….seriously….
Meanwhile…..here is the inside of my store:
So whenever you choose to decorate…..whatever brings you joy!
