Flying Off The Shelves

They must have refilled these 'boxes' at least three times today - that's a lot of trees sold.
Not having any previous retail experience I'm guided by workmates who tell me that this is a quiet run into Christmas.
I guess people simply don't have the money to spend, neither do they want the large post Christmas credit card bills!
The sunshine combined with a cold wind lulled me into thinking it was warmer than it was which accounts for me sitting here in front of the TV sniffling and feeling sorry for myself.
