Ding Dong Santa is Here! by Melinda Curtis

It used to be that I'd rise at 3 or 4 in the morning on Black Friday and shop. There were always great deals and I could (usually) get back to the house in time to make breakfast for the family.

There were downsides, of course. I once won a $500 early shopper prize and proceeded to spend that and $200 more (what was I thinking?). And there was the time I bought a shop vac for $20. I had no idea what a shop vac was, but I didn't have one and it was $20! We all get caught up in the moment, don't we?

But now stores and online retailers have great deals online AND you can sleep in. This holiday season I have yet to set foot in a store.

I have, however, walked many steps. Steps to answer the door when the UPS or USPS make a delivery. And the guest bedroom is full of packages.

Have you changed your holiday shopping habits as the world changes?

  1. I've never liked shopping, so I quickly adapted to online shopping.

  2. Shopping online is so convenient when the gifts you want to buy aren't in any stores nearby. You don't have to find a different gift when they can just ship it to you from across the country or from a store in the next county.
