Holidays

I remember growing up with parental units owning a software department store.  From the first of November to the first of January, the focus was on holiday shopping.  After all, it was the most lucrative time of the year.  The store had to be decorated.  The sales had to be determined.  Last year's receipts had to be topped.  It was, for those parental units, and amazingly stressful time of the year.
