This morning, let’s take a second to acknowledge a special crew of folks who might be struggling already: retail workers. My wife and I hit the mall over the weekend, and between the endless Christmas music and stressed-out employees, it was like walking into a holiday war zone. Three different stores were blasting only holiday hits, and the employees looked like they were just about ready to unplug the speakers themselves.

I mean, there are only so many times you can hear “Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin’ feet” before you’re over the Jingle Bell Rock forever.

Good news, retail warriors! There’s only… uhhh…

43 days left to survive!
