I just wonder how many of you rather shop online, which with the convenient of pay with your credit card, and you don't have to wait in long line in cold outside. But you still have to get up early don't you? Because you have to be the first one to get the item out of the shipping warehouse. I might still do the old fashion way, I would rather get up early, and call up my friend with me, to get in line, in front of those retail stores to shop for my items. What would you prefer?

Hi!
I think it is a good idea to shop really ahead of time maybe around november if you are going to shop online for christmas gifts because it might take a while for them to get to you since post office and ups are busy during the holiday season. About getting in line and waiting on black friday? That is ridiculous, lol. I never do black friday because first of, it is very difficult to find parking. Second of all, too many people. Although I would rather shop in store during black friday, I would rather not because I think I will just get too irritated lol. I would rather shop in store maybe a week before black friday or last minute shopping when everyone is almost done with their shopping and the malls are emptying up.

You got your own reason, and I appreciate your thought.

If my husband had his own way he would wait until last minute to shop. Before he and I dated he would go on Christmas Eve an hour before the stores close. I hate waiting that long. I have done a little shopping and hope to finish the first week of December. I will be going to see my parents this Christmas and cannot wait to see them. I still have some shopping to do. I have two more gifts to buy for my husband.

I used to wait inline for Black Friday because I like getting the product physically but now I don't have anything I need for Black Friday so I am just going to go shopping for fun and pick up whatever good deals I need & for fun :)

I am expecting anything, but I might just stay in line, and I would like to pick up some great deal too. I just love to shop on great bargain, that is all.

With a lot of the online stores having free shipping I have done some of both. I bought my husband a Video Camera that he really wanted. It was on sale and there were no shipping fees. I knew there would be sales tax (all stores charge tax). Where I live there is a bad blizzard warning the next couple of days and people have been advised if possible to please stay at home. I have been staying at home, but my husband has had to go to work. His boss will not allow him any time off and this morning my husband had to wake up the neighbor so they could push the car out. It had gotten stuck.

Hi! Have you heard of "Cyber Monday" it's the in thing now. You can buy electronics & high tech gadgets online and their on sale every Monday. Black Friday, is not an easy shopping thing. You have to fall in line early, haggle inside for the items you want to buy, etc. I think Cyber Monday is so cool.
