The college has never been closed due to inclement
weather during finals week but, in the event of a first day
time closure during the Monday-Wednesday schedule,
exams will be moved to the same time Thursday. A sec
ond daytime closure will be moved to the same time Fri
day. Evening closures will move to Friday evening at the
same time.
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

really bugs me is that I’m the one going
into the store with a smile on my face and a
soul filled with holiday cheer.
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!
