Hello Darlings,

With Christmas just around the corner and Hanukkah underway, I spent yesterday shopping for gifts. Despite my school overload and ridiculous amount of errands to run, I enjoyed the quality time that I got to spend with my mother. From a traditional trip to Godiva to pick up a Dark Chocolate Decadence(you must try it, it's heavenly), to a million and one stores. Although everyone seemed to be incredibly preoccupied with their holiday lists, I could not help but notice that with holiday season comes rudeness and irritability both in staff and customers.

I understand that it's a stressful time and everyone deals with stress differently, but I don't see the reason as to why people lose their sense of manners and before a bit more rude. This does not imply to everyone, however I've realize that this has become a trend during the holiday shopping. For instance...
