I had my first big shopping trip of the season. While browsing a particular store (can't say which one) I found lots of things that I wanted. Momentarily, I forgot whose gift I was looking for. An overly helpful clerk, no doubt working on commission, hovered about.
"Can I help you find something?"
"No thank-you. I'm just browsing."
"Looking for something in particular or for that special someone?"
"Well, yes, sort of. The problem is, I keep finding things that I want."
"Buy yourself something. It will make you happy. It will put you in the Christmas Spirit. What size do you wear?"
She really did say that.
And I promptly told her what size I wore.
It did not produce Christmas Spirit, but I felt a tiny bit happy. (But only briefly.)

Oh wow! You should have hired that person on that spot, what a seller!
