Holidays Stressing You Out? Help Is on the Way.

Whew, the holidays are stressful! Shopping, cleaning, cooking, hosting parties, attending programs—we need some help, don't we? Well, fear not, holiday help is in the way. A British supermarket is offering to help us untangle those nasty cords of Christmas tree lights. "The posting for a position at the Tesco in Wrexham, England, says the supermarket is launching a new service this month allowing customers to bring in their messy Christmas lights to be untangled. Tesco says candidates should be able to untangle 10 feet of Christmas lights in less than three minutes as well as check the bulbs for signs of breakage.

The ideal candidate for the 36-hour-per-week job would also "be passionate about Christmas," the posting says. The posting also added, "This new position will offer you the chance to show that every little bit helps by running the unique in-store service with a friendly, flexible approach and making a genuine difference to the little things that matter to our customers this Christmas." Don't you feel more relaxed already?
