The first Saturday in December is reserved for my "crazy" friends of friends from Connecticut. There are 7 of us and we bombard Freeport with shopping and eating as our only goals. We always start nice and early, break for the buffet at the Harraseekett Inn and then BAM it's back out to shop. We end with stuffing our pie holes at home - this time it was taco night.
This year I was certain there would be a less festive feeling in the air because of the economy. I know I did more window shopping than actual purchasing, and I didn't pay full price for anything.
But, the retail workers were amazing. Rose at Burberry's was soooo nice. April at Polo Factory - hello, she's like family now. Even the gang at Horny Toad was above and beyond (would have remembered their name but was entering shopping coma by that point).
I have heard horror stories about how mean customers AND retail workers have been. That's too bad. I even had cramps and could muster up a smile and a "hi". I just don't get why some people have to be douche bags - it's the holiday season for cripes sake! I wanted to give some shout outs to everyone who made my big ol' Freeport shopping day a great, fun day!

Tell Jeff that he should know better than to shop for himself 2 weeks before Christmas! I don't care if the stupid special edition comes out and you can't wait... you DO wait, because that's what you do this time of year! Sheesh!
