Sounds of My Season

Some of the best sounds this season for me were provided by the ladies from Victory Outreach who were providing gift wrapping services at my store. Their Greek chorus-like running commentary about the retail goings on provided some much needed color and laughs. Whether it was their encouragement during some marathon Service Manager shifts, "Girl, she's all over the place" or their analysis of a particularly cranky customer, "He surely got up on the wrong side of heaven today", they were never at a loss for words. They also had a "Merry Christmas" or a "Have a blessed day" for all, which took some people back a minute but most recovered themselves enough to return the wishes. More than any favorite carol, those ladies reminded all in earshot what the season is supposed to sound like.
