Thread: All I want for Christmas is.....

    I'm so excited! I found the DVD of "Amahl and the Night Visitors" on Amazon, the original 1952 version in black and white. I'm sure no one will appreciate this except me so I'll watch it after company leaves and my son is in bed. I'll probably bawl my eyes out anyhow, so maybe it's just as well.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    I went to post the last of my cards for the PT list. I was standing in like checking out the postal stuff, boxes to purchase and the new stamp offerings.


    I noticed that the USPS puts out Christmas themed stamps -Eid, Kwanzaa and such. "Cool", I thought, then it was my turn to get my stamps,
    I asked for the number I needed and had an envelope weighed to have is sent.

    The gal had the stamps in her hand while she did her thing, then she told me the amount and I paid her. I was trying to be fast and wondered why she didn't put the stamps on the counter and I could stamp my envelopes and give them to her. O.K., probably a training tip to keep scumbags from trying to pull a switcheroo-I know that some cashiers are trained to keep bills out of the till so they can be sure they are paid with the right bill.


    She gave me my change and put the stamps on the counter. I didn't have my glasses on, I noticed that the stamps had different colored stripes on them and when I got to the mail box in the lobby I saw that they were Kwanzaa stamps! I thought, "Dang! I wanted Christmas stamps!" I took a step bakwards and thought about being such an AH about STAMPS! Does it really matter what stamps go on my envelopes? No, not really.

    I thought about it further and wondered how many people would toss a fit because they got, or didn't get the stamps they wanted?

    All in all, it's no big deal. Maybe someone will see that stamp and look for the meaning of the holiday.....

    I stopped by the super after and almost crashed my cart into a woman who came barrelling around the corner..I smiled at her and said, "I'm sorry!" You would have thought I had hit her cart and blamed her for it. No, Holiday Spirit for her!


    Well 36 more days and we can all get back to 'normal'.
