"Yes it is. How many years have you been here?"
"Gosh, around thirty or so I think. I lost count so who knows. There's always a peak around Christmas each year. You'll get use to it."
"I don't know. I was hoping things would drop off but it's just the opposite. Why are people like that? They get all wound up and emotional around the holidays?"
