Try working in the retail business for one Christmas season. Christmas will never be the same again. And not in a good way.
I worked in a large drug store one Christmas. I managed the Nursery, which was a pretty cool job at 19 years old. When Christmas came around, since that was a slow time for selling plants, lots of the seasonal Christmas goods were put out in the Nursery. Especially the larger items like bicycles, fake trees, wagons, etc. If you think it's a pain in the ass to put a bicycle together on Christmas eve, imagine having to assemble one of everything the store sold and decorate 25 fake trees.
