Christmas Story

Leanne has asked me to share with you a favorite Christmas story from my past. This Christmas tale goes back nearly thirty years to when I was a young, hotshot salesman climbing the fast-track corporate ladder to success. A time when I spent more nights in hotels than in my own home, and more hours in airports than with my family.

It was the week before Christmas. For me, the sales year was over. This was a time to relax and spend some promised time with my family. The phone rang while I was stringing lights on the banister. It was the president of my company. He had just hired a new marketing director and wanted me to give him a quick tour of some of our major accounts.  "You're our top salesman. I want you to take him to your top customers around the country and show him your best merchandising" he said.

Without any second thought or hesitation I said "yes". My wife was disappointed, but not surprised. "Don't worry" I said, "I'll be back for Christmas Eve".
