southsider2k5 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I didn't go because I work a half day today... but even if I didn't there isn't a chance that I would have been anywhere near a mall today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I went to Target and Macy's this morning...managed to get roughly 1/2 of my shopping done, also picked up a printer and a Simpsons DVD for myself. Wasn't that bad here...although I didn't head to the Best Buy across town, which I believe is where the real hell erupts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I went up to the ranch to fetch a 24' ladder to put up lights. That is as close to "out" as I want to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I did, but I didn't start until about 9--late enough for the crazies to be gone, but early enough to avoid the hugest crowds. All of my Christmas shopping save for my best friend is done. And I think we're just getting each other a spa day, so that's kinda done. Black Friday is the closest I get to the thrill of the hunt. I love it and wouldn't miss it for the world. Plus, I got some *awesome* deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I have the #$%#$^ flu... so I've been pretty much doing nothing but sleeping. This sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxySoxGirl Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I've only tried shopping after Thanksgiving once to get it out of my system and I vowed to never do it again. The sales aren't that fantastic to make me wait in line that long with that many people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sucks. Did you at least get to eat Thanksgiving dinner? I didn't. I have strep throat. I can't swallow anything unless it's tea. I have to garggle salt water. It sucks big time. So much food, but I can't eat any of it. I also can't go to Ed Debevich's tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the day retailers get into the black for the year. Many retail stores are losing money YTD, and need a busy Christmas season to turn a profit for the year.

Yoda Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I had to go to work today. Personally, I would have liked to go to Best Buy and start my Christmas shopping. Oh well. I’m pretty sure there will be more specials in no time. That’s how it always is. Once everyone is out of money, prices go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Hose Jon Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 i had to work at 6 am at sears. People were lined up since 5:30 outside because we had ten dollar gift cards for the first hundred customers. It was crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a yearly tradition for me and a couple of friends from high school. Oh well, I never liked that place anyway for trying to make me serve other peoples' drinks and not get paid for it. Then again, it would be the ideal place for me to work at. I could be mean to people and have them do my job and get paid for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Even if I wasn't fighting the tail end of the flu, no way I would be in those crowds. I am not looking forward to Christmas shopping this year in the least. I am, however, already baking and trying a few recipes for the Christmas Eve meal I will be making as well as getting the decorating in gear. Oh joy, just found out Brain does have to work tonight (11PM start). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I do nearly all my Christmas shopping online then go upstairs, turn on the news and laugh at all the people who are literally getting trampled over some markdown at Wal-Mart.

Jake Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Went up to Lombard at about noon, raided the half price sale at Aeropostale, bought a cd at Sam Goody, and got the hell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 It's crazy. I had intended to go out on that day. But my Mom came into town, and I decided to stay in and do family stuff. I had all intention of doing a ton of shopping this weekend. Now here I am on Sunday afternoon, and I haven't set foot outside of my house since Wednesday evening!!! In other words, I have had a PERFECT 4 days break from work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
