Kind of bittersweet

It’s far enough away from Christmas to mention this one now.

Sad: Having a very sad event in the family just before Christmas and stopping to pick up some cards for the affected.
Annoying: Being accosted by a more than usually obnoxious member of the Smile brigade: “Come on, smile, it’s Christmas. Everyone should be happy. You look like someone’s died, not like you’ve bought your Christmas cards!”
Priceless: Holding up the two condolence cards I just bought and watching his face…

Moral: Sometimes when people aren’t smiling, there’s a very good reason.
