Twas the day before the day before Christmas and all through the stores
My shopping experiences nothing but bores
No good ideas, no fabulous gifts
Nothing obtained on anyones lists
Frustrated and tired no coffee in cup
I jumped in the jeep about to give up

So what do I do for the holiday so dear
A simple store makes it so clear
With value and savings options galore
Don’t shop on the internet, shop at this store
“with Maytag and Frigidaire, Whirlpool, GE
Viking and Thermador, and Sony” with glee

How could I go wrong I say to myself
Let’s go to see Grant’s and test the sales elves
Skeptical and scared I’d get taken for fool
I go armed with info from that internet tool
Into the store I sneak with good reason
That a toaster for a present won’t do at this season

On Danny, on Mikey, Kevin, and Rob
On Timmy, on David, Jeffrey or Bob
Who’s up next, who’s hot, who’s got the best deal?
I’m here with some cash, show me it’s real
With pieces and values, open box and more
Who needs the internet – look at this floor!

Shown deals and products and values amaze
I’m stunned at the offers I find on this day
That guy didn’t lie, the rebates are true
This place called Grant’s did know what to do
As i schedule my delivery, haul away, protection
Installed by a pro, shopping perfection

I’ll sign up for eblasts Facebook my story
Stainless steel love, in all it’s glory
Confident i’ve found my guy in the biz
Just short of brilliant, but certainly a wiz
I’ll send in my friends, and family this year

Stop by the bar, and over a beer
Tell all who will listen about this local place
Willing to have fun instead of taking up space
With owners committed and buyers that should be
I found all the values for underneath my tree

No empty promises, no lame excuse retail
Just real people there finding pride in the detail
Two days to go, no more on the list
I’ve got the new dryer – so how do i wrap this?
