I am usually not an early Christmas shopper. I love Black Friday... it's like competitive shopping, which is a sport I could dominate! I even think it's fun to go into the mall a couple days before Christmas. I know people get so annoyed by commercialism and all that, but I've never experienced people being mean or greedy. I've seen lots of happy shoppers, wishing each other a Merry Christmas. I know buying things is not what Christmas is all about. My kids know this. But I enjoy a good holiday shopping spree anyway.
This year, however, I am almost done. Eric and I had the chance to do the "Santa" shopping tonight, kidless for the evening. We had fun. We also got some amazing deals and are going to be under budget for our Christmas spending. This whole couponing, saving money thing has even infiltrated how I feel about Santa. I guess it's my new version of competitive shopping... how little money can I spend and still get good stuff?
Plus, doing my Christmas shopping early means that I get to start listening to Christmas music early and just get in the Christmas mood!
