Not sure if black Friday or Christmas Eve is worse. Black Friday has changed greatly in the past 20 years so its less bad than say 2002, but you are right. Stores close early on Christmas Eve, and they are crowded while they are open.

I avoid them both when / if possible. However, I noticed early on Black Friday is tolerable, and often, not at all crowded, depending on the store. Thanks for stopping by Miranda. Have a great 2024! :)

If zi haven't got it by Christmas eve it can wait until the new year, or order on line, can't stand the crowds with all the pushing and shoving. Merry Christmas Linda. Tom

It's frenetic Tom. I shop throughout the year to avoid such aggressiveness. Happy Christmas! :)

I have seen them all day too Sara. Personally, I start shopping the after Christmas sales for next year, but especially start buying in August-October so I will have the items I think I need by Thanksgiving. Of course, there are last minute purchases when I find a wish list here or there. Have a fabulous Christmas and all blessings for the coming New Year! hugs to you and Bill! :)

My hubby drove across town yesterday and felt it was dangerous to be out and about, people seemed frantic :/ I had gifts wrapped and put them in moving boxes, feeling well accomplished! I thought I put them in the garage where they'd be easy to get to, but maybe one of the sheds! My son rearranged the sheds & the garage to fit in big exercise equipment and now I can't find my gifts. If they're not found by tonight, I will be a last-minute shopper too. Gosh, I Ho, Ho, Hope I can find them!

Yay!! Yo-Ho Ho!!! I found them! Crazy! A reindeer was literally resting in a box on top of the boxes of gifts! He was an old decoration and I guess this old Rudolph didn't make the cut this year, he is nearly thirty years old and the family was decorating the front yard, so he was moved in his big box a top my two smaller ones. Rudy's retaliation I guess :D Lol, I really could not help but laugh! Just in time. Oh my goodness. I thought Christmas may have to wait, seriously, last minute shopping was NOT on my Christmas wish list :) A Merry Christmas after all!! I hope yours was wonderful Linda!

I have to laugh Bj. I have "special" hiding places for gifts I buy throughout the year. If I do not put them on one of these places, I lose them. This year I found gifts I bought two years ago! LOL I Ho, HO, Hope you find yours! Berry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year for you and yours. :)

Hello dear Darlene. Sad they will buy just anything to get it done, and the insincerity shines through it. I'm satisfied with a hug from family and friends. :) A very Merry Christmas to you, too, and many blessings for the New Year! :)
