Okay, I admit I am one of those diehards who goes shopping the day after Thanks giving. Before I get to the sale it’s fun, and when I leave it’s fun, but while I’m shop ping it’s not. Shoppers line up outside the store be fore the doors even open, and when they do they push and shove to get ahead of the pack. What a festive way to start the holi day season—fighting over the last bargain- priced Barbie with a cranky old woman. Even if I did win the fight I’d feel terrible giving it to anyone after having to fight to get it. That’s not the Christmas spirit. What The Clackamas Print Staff 19600 S.

Too many people look at Christmas shopping as a chore. They complain that they ’ ve spent too much money on gifts and it’s such a hassle to fight the crowds to go shopping. It seems to me that these people don’t know the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas is a time to enjoy giving. If people cannot afford much they should give what they can, and if they don’t like the holiday shopping crowds they should fin ish their shopping before Thanksgiving. I love the holidays. The stores are so festive and everything usually has this feel ing of warmth around it. Cranky people destroy that feeling with their terrible atti tudes. I try to just smile at them and go on my way, but when they don’t smile back I feel even worse. So please while you’re doing your holi day shopping, don’t be crabby, and if some one smiles at you, smile back!
