Hello, Rachelle!
Could only happen to me; of that I am certain!
I am thrilled my debacle resonated with you! It's a memory that still haunts me. (Someday I shall share with you my pantyhose debacle as well...) Oy!
Thank you again!
And of course, Merry Christmas to you and yours!

This is an excellent, funny story since you all were laughing in the end. I remember shopping like that, but not anymore. These days, I shop online. You wrote an unusual Christmas story. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

Comment from Wayne Fowler
You have described HELL! A nightmare. I often ask my wife to share my pleasure, having her read a post - not this time. Though the writing is superb (of course), the subject and descriptions would give her nightmares the whole night through.
Our grocery shopping is before 7AM. Our gift shopping is on-line (when possible). we avoid town during lunch and Fridays through Mondays (except early church).
I remember my mother buying Christmas presents beginning in January, getting items she noted people saying that they'd wished for.

Hah! Wayne!
Retail HELL!
You and your wife remind me of my husband who swears he could be - and is quickly becoming - a hermit! How he despises shopping!
I used to purchase gifts for loved ones in January, but then came the year that I forgot where I put most of them, so I don't do that anymore! Hah!
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Wayne!
Thank you!

Comment from Annmuma
This is about a ten star, but I only have 6 to give! What a great story and I was pleased to see a happy ending. Christmas should always be a happy ending when we have a choice in the matter -- as you did with these three young women. And most of the time, we do. Great work. ann

Comment from Navada
Ha! This piece gave me a big belly laugh and a feeling of warmth that came not just from enjoying the humour, but admiration of your incredible patience and bonhomie. I'm fairly certain that my own reaction in such a situation would not have been so gracious! Kudos and thank you so much for the share! :)

Hello Mrs. KT
You had me with the first sentence. That is a sign of a good writer. That first impression makes all the differnce. You make the reader commited to seeing the story through to the end.
Your dialogue was fresh and realistic. Excellent work.
Best Regards,
Mark

Comment from mshugh
Very nice flow to this story and the characters and events are truly believable
No SPAG or typos that I could see - I was too engrossed in getting to the end - so I can't be of much help there - but that tells you that this story was very well written

Hello Michael! So pleased you enjoyed my small offering. . . how embarrassing! Take Care. . .diane
Comment from LittleWriter08
Oh, that poor woman! Christmas is, by far, my favorite season, but it's such a busy and hectic holiday! And this story just pretty much proves it. We all see the last minute shoppers running in stores and grabbing up last minute gifts (I am guilty of that as well) This was a humorous, and very true story. Nicely done! =]

Comment from KaylaMarie
I enjoyed your story. I, too, am a shopaholic.
It happened to me once...not just before Christmas, but in a familiar store.
So I was riveted to your story from the part where the bells and whistles and flashing lights went off.
In my case, they, of course, found nothing and it wasn't funny for any reason.
But I can laugh with you and for the first time, I can remember my embarrassing incident with humor.
Well written.
