Sunday's question of the day 9/22

Happy Sunday  .

Have you started Holiday shopping yet? Do you like to go out and shop or do you do most of it online?

l've only bought a couple of SS things so far. l would buy absolutely everything online if l could - l'd prefer to never again have to set foot inside a store.

Usually l'm finished Christmas shopping by the end of October before the snow flies, and before the crowds/traffic are unbearable.

I definitely prefer online shopping - no crowds, no waiting in line, no overheated stores, the ability to shop any time of the day or night, etc..

I have never got anything online. My biggest worry is that I would pay for something then it would get lost in the mail. You call that company the compony says they sent it. You have no proof you did not get something that you never got by the mail. So your out money for trying to shop online.

I picked up some stocking stuffers this summer on a short trip we took, and just bought a few small gifts and some Christmas crackers. You have to buy things as you see them around here because nothing gets restocked in the stores, so when it's gone it's gone.

I do a lot of shopping online, not just for Christmas. It's also a lot cheaper to buy online than in the stores here (IF they have it). I love online shopping and do not like malls with the concrete and fluorescent lighting, that really wears me out. I don't mind the holiday crowds, though.

Stocking stuffers from Dollar Tree and the rest of gifts  usually from Walmart. Since my son lives in Minnesota and I'll probably not see him again this year he would probably get a gift card from Walmart too.

I buy both online and in the store, but the closer it gets to Christmas and the busier it gets I tend to stay out of the stores.

I'm the same way.

No. I did talk to my kids to ask them to get their wish lists to us earlier this year....I'd like to have them by Halloween, but I know that's not going to happen.

I never did much in the way of online shopping until I got a nasty bout of sciatica several years ago and couldn't walk or stand for long periods. I learned just how convenient online shopping was and we've never looked back. I'd say we're about 60/40 online and in stores.

And yes, we do the Black Friday thing, but only if there's something we're really looking for and know that it's at an excellent price.
