Christmas in retail is like having a baby that never grows up. The sleepless nights start to wear you down. Holy cow - it's the week before Thanksgiving - the week before black Friday. I lay awake at night trying to count to be sure we have enough boxes, ribbon, cookies, cheese straws and other foods of alabama - wait, did I order another case of salsa? It doesn't matter how organized you become for the holidays - sleepless nights really exhaust you. It's shaping up to be a great year. If we weren't making sales, I would lay awake worried about having too much inventory. I have many things to put on my 'grateful' list - but another sleepless night isn't one of those things.
