Merry Christmas to the A&P Lady

Merry Christmas to the checkout lady at the West 12th Street A&P in Erie, Pennsylvania. She gave me this pin when I was about 5 (circa 1970, to save you the math).

I don't know the lady's name, don't even know if she's still alive, but my mom tells me she loved seeing me every week when we did the grocery shopping. So one Christmastime she gave me this pin, and I've worn it almost every Christmas Eve since.

She's a little freaky in the picture with those glowing green eyes, but then again, I'd probably be a little freaked if I really saw an angel anyway.
