Snow! It was +20C about 70F here yesterday. It is normally hanging around the 0 mark by now.I don't watch much tv so the adverts don't cue me up for much of anything.

It's a fact that the #1 recreational activity in the U.S. is shopping. Personally, I find that incredible! BTW, my Christmas shopping is done, but not wrapped. I make it a point to be finished by Thanksgiving every year. Nowdays, I do almost 100% of my shopping via internet. I hate crowds, and I especially hate malls of any & all description.

Chelly. Wasn't sure what you were talking about "Black Friday".Just found out on the news. People beating each other up at a Walmart. I'd pass on that for sure.

there some people throwing laptops at walmart this morning. And someone got wrestled to the ground for cutting in line in Orlando today. I actually find it all sad and amusing at the same time. Especially when it comes to the kids toys.
Many years ago there was a potato chip ad. In the ad, a man hands an open chip bag to another man and says, "Go ahead and finish them. We'll make more."
I've always suscribed to the old business belief that states, "He who is in the biggest hurry always loses." I've found this to be almost always true when it comes to retail sales.

I hate shopping- The Malls suck - ppl. are rude in large masses like what Black Friday brings out.
Mr. V - I did my time as a retail customer service person in many different jobs in many different aspects. I dealt with more than my fair share of malls and shops all over and hate it. I prefer small places with neat themes and local flavor of where ever I am, but can't plan a whole day of shopping and be excited about it. I am one of the few women that I know of that can't stand many of the stereotypical 'female' activities such as shopping. Ugh! Give me a PC and a credit card and then I'm in business.
I just saw what confirmed Christmas is coming for me...
The ever so familiar hooves of the gorgeous Clydesdale horses hauling the Budwiser name...I love those commercials!

"She, who must be obeyed" says, "Aren't you going to hang the outside lights?" This usually happens during a snow storm, when it's about 15 degrees F outside.
