Giving Thanks to Fiesta Market

Dear Fiesta,

Thank you for being you.  Thank you for being open 24 hours a day and being within a five minute drive from our house.  Thank you for your clean bathrooms and for hiring every pregnant teenager in Austin.  Thank you for your weird spices, the curries in your Asian section, and your wide selection of disgusting sodas (like Peanut soda).  Thank you for selling gold rings, fresh tacos, and paintings of Jesus.  More than anything though, my dear Fiesta, thank you for your English section and for your awareness of the importance of Christmas.

Thank you for every foreign Christmas cookie imaginable.

Thank you for your vast selection of mince pies, fruit cakes, and Christmas puddings.  (Even if one of them costs $28!)

Thank you for your Panettone shrine.

Thank you for your imported Heinz baked beans, your Ribena, your Irn Bru, your Bird's Custard, your Marmite, your Crunchie bars, and your Hob Nobs.

Thank you for making us look like idiots on Supermarket Sweep, putting everything in sight into our basket.  Thank you for allowing me to share my first love (English junk food) with my second love (Nick).

Thank you, Fiesta.

Love Always and Forever,

Sophie & Nick

PS:  Please start selling malt loaf.
