online except for the gift cards ill run to target or cvs. from thanksgiving till at .east two weeks after xmas i stay away from the stores. i can't deal with people
My son is grown, and lives to far away, my entire family actually, so I buy for my dog and my grandkids, those i get exclusively online so they ship, and that means, Amazon takes all my money. My 12 year old pup is getting a new dog bed, and I branched out and ordered it from Sears. ;) only because I had some free points or something of the sort that amounted to about 15 bucks off. For my husband, we do not really do much for each other, I liked to hit the local hippy store and get him some gifts of crystals. I am cheap at the holidays.
i'm old enough to remember trying to order the first "available online" items from fao schwartz in the late 90's. their customer service was so bad (phone agents were in the dark that these items existed). i remember thinking, "online shopping's such a great idea but it'll never take off".
My kid is the only one i wrap gifts for. Everyone else gets gift cards. Usually get his "big present" online, then go to a store to browse for smaller stuff.
Online for sure at the Goopstore... “Like me you will admire how Gwyneth just refuses to be held back by facts”. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/lostinshowbiz/2017/nov/30/have-a-happy-homeopathic-christmas-with-gwyneth-paltrow?CMP=soc_567
The difference between Capitalism and Socialism is With Socialism, people get everything they need from The State With Capitalism, people get everything they need from Amazon.
My family no longer does Christmas gifts. The last thing any of us needs is more mass produced crap made by third world slaves ending up in over full landfills. Fck this mass orgy of consumerism. Sing some carols, cook some beautiful food, and spend time together instead.
+1,000,000 mc98033. watching black friday crowds on tv scares me for the future of society. we had a crash in 2008 when credit was way too easy and people refinanced their homes to buy more crap, accessorize their homes like the rich and famous, or pay off credit card bills. hoped people learned from it, but it's starting all over again.
This year, I am only hanging candy canes on my tree that are in mint condition.
ReplyDeleteI shop online but I do go to the Malls not to shop but to see the Christmas decorations.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely online 😬
ReplyDeleteI do a little of both, as little as humanly possible.
ReplyDeleteI am now only giving experiences, because my friends and family don’t need any material goods.

Online. I despise crowds. And the older I get, the less I like going shopping at all, which I used to love.
