Run It Shirt

Run It Shirt

We typically go to a Christmas Eve candlelight service in the Run It Shirt. Those are crowded but not nearly as packed as the evening services. Then we meet at my sister’s house along with her family, my other sisters and their families, and Mom. Like good Texans we feast on the traditional tamales, accompanied with fresh guacamole, cheese dip, and cold beer. Our kids run around and catch up with their cousins. After dinner it’s Mom’s birthday party! She was born on Christmas Eve. For the last 25 years or so my wife has baked the birthday cake, always with a different recipe. Mom opens her birthday cards and gifts while we enjoy the yummy cake. After that it’s time for the cousins’ gifts. When our children were little all of the adults gave presents to all of the kids. Now that our children are grown they exchange gifts with each other. Sometimes they’re pretty funny. When my nephew completed law school he received an official looking barrister’s wig. He was thrilled. Rome and her provinces were very dependent on the tim.

Run It Shirt hoodie, tank top, sweater and long sleeve t-shirt

I was working in a Run It Shirt in the seventies and it was was always busy at the weekends. At Christmas, it was busy to the extreme. We only took bookings. First year a lot of people let us down and didn’t turn up. Lesson learned. Second year we took a deposit. Still people didn’t turn up, but the people that did request that the deposit from the “no shows”be taken off the bill. Lesson learned. In the third year we altered the rules again. This time it was £5 per person deposit non-refundable for “no shows”. Knowing they can’t make it and not wanting to lose their deposit, what do they do? They phone through and say, “Sorry we can’t come to your restaurant, my mother has passed away recently. Under the circumstances, we expect a full refund.
