It’s Christmas, and our airport had to celebrate. Lights were lit, trees were up and jingles have been playing non-stop. All. Day. Long.
In my company, life goes on. You can’t feel the festivities unless you wander around the terminals and see the airport’s decorations. For us, it’s like any other day (except no bosses are around).
Not to feel left out, we armed ourselves with the oh-so-awesome holiday spirit. We tip-toed around the terminal, snatched a tree (with its colorful lighting) and dragged it back to the office.
It now stands next to the fax machine, decorated with airline material (FRAGILE stickers, HEAVY tags, even an Unaccompanied Minor pouch bag). Instead of a star at the top, we have a walkie-talkie.
Those coming to work in the morning for their early bird shift will have a nice surprise. They’ll have a laugh. Not our boss however. I don’t want to see his face when he returns from his holidays and is contacted by airport security with a video surveillance tape featuring us, dragging the tree around the terminal….
What? It’s Christmas! Happy Holidays!
