Does anyone else feel like we’re just going from one “go out and buy shit” holiday/season to the next? I feel so tired
I’m burnt out, I feel like as soon as one holiday/season ends we’re on to the next and it’s insanely stressful to have to endlessly prepare for holiday/seasonal crowds because there’s no breathing room anymore. There’s no catching our breath, getting the chance to restock (harder now in the U.S., which of course pisses people off). It’s just move straight on to the next, no trying to even out, it’s just go, go, go.
Like in January we have New Years, and so of course we have people coming in for all manner of party supplies, but come January we have Valentine’s Day shit out already. Then Valentine’s Day happens in February, and then we move directly on to Easter which is in fuckin April, then directly after Easter comes graduation season/summer seasonal, then come July/August is when all the back to school shit gets going, and forget fuckin September because that’s when the Halloween shit comes out (which don’t get me wrong, it’s my favorite holiday, but slow the hell down), and then directly after Halloween, or hell, even before it when we’re still in OCTOBER, we get Christmas!
It’s exhausting, and I’m burnt out
