During festive seasons there will be lots of discounts and offers. Also not to forget the huge crowd in the shopping malls and the huge amount of material made available to the customers. I do agree that the variety of material available to customers is more. This is a plus. But i hate the huge crowd that comes. Do you prefer to shop during the festive seasons?

I love discounts and offers specially when festive season is at near.Though I am not much in favour of shopping in crowded places like malls but yes,I do love to go on my own and pick my own stuff.Online shopping is easier but I am not much in favour of that since I had few bad experiences.

I do enhoy the discounts and sales during these times but it is always so crowded. I don't like shopping when there are so many people in the stores, I like to have my space when shopping.

The only season that I like to shop for, is Christmas. I like to do all of my shopping online though, to avoid the huge crowds. I find good deals online.

Hi! If I would have my way, I would shop when the festive season (like Christmas) is still far away. I would love to get away from the crowd. Besides, in my country, the prices go up when the season is near. The problem is that I am very busy and I would tend to do things the last minute. Even if there are many choices, I would still need to push my way thru the crowd as if competing with them. That's too much effort and stress, but I didn't have much of a choice. Oh, well...

I usually try to get my holiday shopping done 2 or 3 weeks in advance. During the month of December, I avoid the mall at ALL costs. Last year I went to the mall a week before, and that was a mistake. There were hundreds, if not thousands at the mall and I felt very claustrophobic. But to answer your question, I love shopping during the festive seasons. It brings a smile to my face and an extra spring in my step.

No I don't. I have begun a tradition of online shopping. Crowds are not my cup of tea. Especially taking a small child with me. I avoid it when possible.
