This past Saturday night I took my daughter to Kohl's for a shirt she needed. While there,me and the other ten (10) shoppers in the the store were bombarded with non-stop Holiday tunes played at the loudest volume possible. Now I know that this is supposed to put you in the spirit (read: spend tons of money!), but the sales associate who was cleaning up the shoe section looked like he was going to kill himself or someone else! Pity the Santa who's gotta sit through this stuff all day! Happy Hannukah and ho ho ho to y'aall. This doesn't mean that your'e excused from buying me a gift. LOL
There's only so many times I can hear the dreidle song.
ReplyDeleteI always remember being afraid to look at x-mas stuff, that something was gonna happen if I looked at the "santa" at the mall. Although when we would drive through houses with lights it was cool to look at them, though I learned your not allowed to have joy from them.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Chanukah in advance
LFD- Eemo anochi betzarah....
ReplyDeleteTBW- I can identify with the first part of your comment...but doesn't the 2nd part belong on your other site ;-) LOL, Happy Chanukah to you too!
DavenedByDeKoisel: lol, well being that I can only use one username, it's stuck under the first name. Although I think I did a cool job at making a second look a like profile for my Jewish one!
ReplyDeletelol, thanx!
poor guy! between the difficulty finding parking (though you ny-ers are used to that!) and the crazy non jews trying to find gifts, i try to avoid stores these days.....though i do admit to enjoying xmas music. its pretty - ok??? lol -the now defunct Lakewood Venter did a post about jews who like xmas music last year, so i know im not the only one!
ReplyDeleteTr8erGirl: I like some xmas music too, but mostly the jazzed up remakes, it's the sappy stuff on a loop that drives me batty!!
ReplyDeleteBabysitter: If you enjoy it only a little than the fire in gehenna will only be lukewarm...LOL
LFD: If they mixed in some Chanukah stuff it might be tolerable!
DavenedByDeKoisel: lol, well tonight I went shopping by Kings Plaza and I saw the huge santa with kids taking pictures with him. This poor little kid was sitting on Santa's lap and screeching hysterically. Then in all the stores they had the x-mas music, I wouldn't have been able to tell it was x-mas music if not for hearing the word x-mas in it.
ReplyDeleteBabysitter: Glad you enjoyed the Plaza, hope u got me a gift :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDelete(I had a good comment to the "gift" part, but I forgot it...)
Oy, from working in retail I can tell you that having to hear the same songs or demo cd all day long is mental torture. I got lucky though, as in my division we hooked up speakers for our ipods and management never said anything about it.
ReplyDeleteFrumpunk: Thanks for commiserating and really appreciate the "roll" :-)
ReplyDeleteI always feel for those poor souls who have to listen to the same songs over and over and over...
ReplyDeleteShorty: Duly noted, and welcome to de koisel
ReplyDeleteAnd Shorty you got an honor, Your name got capitalized and Koisel got lower cased.
ReplyDeletebtw, DavenedByDeKoisel: did you see my post about x-mas? Anyways, I mentioned there about the lights. It says that it's painful for Hashem to see. So when I commented earlier about the lights and I couldn't remember the exact thing, so there it is.
