A Couple Days ago,Tom and I decided to order our Christmas dinner we were going to make {or serve} for our family and relatives from online and give ourselves a break since we always do Thanksgiving and Christmas and decided to go easy this time . So we ordered from Harry and David- They had some REALLY nice looking stuff and we were going to serve Prime Rib this year, and they had one that was perfect to just heat up . So we bought that and some cute Christmas cookies and some Christmas cheesecake trees for dessert,and some pears. - Everything to go with the meal. They said it would come on the 23rd Guaranteed.Perfect. We had some pre cooking to do anyway so we made some Struofoli, and some dinner rolls to heat up, and christmas cookies, and cleaned the house, wrapped some last minute gifts, doorbell rings- cool- the foods here! What comes? the pears. Not cool! Where's the rest of the friggin food? We call the company, they say Ups is running all the way up until midnight- and the orders are in different boxes. Kay... well, we stay up till midnight, and UPS never returns... We're having dinner Christmas EVE the 24th. Tom checks UPS online SAT morning and finds out that UPS decided on their own that they RESCHEDULED our order for the 27TH!! That's our Christmas Dinner !! They can't do that!!! You have no Idea how utterly pissed I am right now! What gives them the right to say whoops! We missed some boxes, oh well! We'll deliver them next week. Lets go home and enjoy the holiday, screw them.. NAH NAH NAH! Get your lazy asses back in the truck and DELIVER EVERY LAST BOX like you were SUPPOSED to in the first place and to the RIGHT address if it takes you ALL NIGHT! Isnt their motto like on time every time or something - oh sorry "what can brown do for you" ? you can bring me my Christmas dinner like you were supposed to is what you can do for me! So now DH is driving to Ellenton outlet mall which he doesnt have time to do to the Harry and David store there where theyre going to credit him and make up a Christmas dinner there- they don't have a prime rib, but they have a spiral ham , and some Christmas cookies left they said and we reserved two cheesecakes last night in his name. Anyway, I'm just severely pissed at this whole ordeal and needed to get it off my chest. I'm sure eveything will be great - the family will all be together and we'll open presents and be happy and laughing and sharing and that's what counts- being together and happy as a family for the Holidays. ~ I just can't believe something so ridiculous turned out of something so simple as ordering a Christmas dinner to make life easy! But then again,that's how my goes-kinda like Murphy's Law-"whatever most likey can go wrong, will"
