There was an element you feel on Christmas Eve where everyone is happy, just waiting for the big day to arrive. I walked into Primos this afternoon to see at least ten people behind the counter waiting to be helpful, all primed to go home at 5:00. I was at Primos to pick up my holiday feast. It was 3:00, the time the food had been ordered. The place was a buzz of activity. Much to my surprise, everything was in order and efficient. There was no waiting.
A lady checked the computer and handed a ticket to a young man, who walked into the kitchen and returned in one minute with a big box full of my food. I asked if it was heavy and he said it was. But he also told me he would carry the box to the car for me, which I appreciated. All the people seemed delighted picking up their food. The spirit of the season prevailed. I noticed that many folks were picking up just deserts and left with 6 pies. Another man carried out just a turkey. The thing that impressed me was how many people were there picking up food. I was only there for 5 or 10 minutes but I saw a lot of people coming and going. And they all looked happy, especially me. No cooking for me tomorrow.
