Daniel Levitin is suggesting that some of the earliest forms of writing developed for practical business purposes like recording sales transactions or receipts, rather than for artistic, spiritual or personal reasons.
His point seems to be that the origins of writing can be traced back to documenting commercial exchanges, and that even great works of literature have their roots in such functional written records.
The “sorry” he includes may be meant tongue-in-cheek, to gently acknowledge how unromantic an idea it is that literature descended from something as mundane as receipts.

Short Link to this Quote:
Grace Kriley is saying that Christmas shopping can help prepare you for the sales that happen in January. Christmas shopping is usually very busy, with lots of people looking for gifts. This can be stressful. January sales are also usually busy times, as stores try to clear out leftover inventory from the holidays by offering discounts.
By experiencing the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping, it can make the January sales seem a bit less hectic in comparison. So Kriley is joking that Christmas shopping is like practice or training for dealing with the sales crowds in the new year.
