Let the Holiday Shopping Begin!

Yes I know. It's only November 9. I think the stores have gotten bolder as the years go by about how soon to put up the Christmas deals. At this point I think it's just expected to run right after Halloween. I think if it gets any earlier people might get uppity, but for now it's ok.

I went Christmas shopping today. It wasn't that I had planned on starting this early. It's just that I got coupons in the mail. If you are willing to give me a $5 off coupon to use in a store I normally shop in anyway, why not? It spreads out the spending a bit and at the same time, you are getting a deal.

Also with the economy the way it is, I am curious to see how the holiday shopping pans out for businesses. I personally plan on doing things the way I did last year. I don't loose my head over the holidays and am generally on the look out for good deals, so I think it won't be a problem to do it again this year. We shall see I guess.

Here's to some holiday cheer!
