The race to see who can promote Christmas the most is just one of many soul-crushing things about working retail.
I completely understand your frustration. I hate when people skip over the other holidays like they don't exist. While trick or treating with my kids the other night I saw more houses ALREADY decorated for Christmas than Halloween. Ugh.
I feel your pain
Welcome to the world of Retail
The fringe benefit is that the FMLs practically write themselves.
First job in retail?
Did anybody else start singing their favorite Christmas song in their head after reading this?
Yeah..""Twelve Days of Christmas" song is playing in my head - ugh
No. Because it doesn't exist. I hate Christmas. I only play along for the kids.
As soon as read the fml my head-fi started playing It's the most wonderful time of the year
34, me too!! Hate it.
The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear!
this isn't an FML wtf
Tis the season to be jolly fala **** ala.

A few weeks ago I was at a rather large retail chain and saw Christmas decorations right across from the Halloween decorations. Dressing as a homicidal Santa Clause for Halloween briefly crossed my mind.
Having spent a few years working in retail I can confirm this is the most soul destroying part of the run up the Christmas. Because nothing enforces Christmas cheer like playing jingle bells on repeat
