Christmas shopping really isn't as fun online...
 

It's nice because I can find good deals, but I miss the days of going out with my friends and browsing through each store, stopping at the food court in the mall for a Cinnabon break, then going to Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body to spend a couple hours testing all the scents.

I'm actually purposely saving a few things to buy in the stores because I already have 2 dates of shopping reserved. One with Mark for the family, and one with the girls for Mark - although I think I just got all his shopping done. :(

Oh yeah, and fuck you Brendan.

There's something very therapeutic about shopping. Maybe it's just cuz I'm a girl...who knows. But I haven't had a chance to shop since...last Christmas probably.

After a couple days of snow, I think I need to buy boots.
I'll probably only look online, I don't think I'd be find anything I'd like in the stores.

When I'm shopping for other people I like to go to the store itself, because I get ideas from what I see.

it is MORE fun online because you don't have to deal with corwds and no parking and things being sold out when you get there and annoying brats whose mothers aren't paying any attention to playing havok in the malls

I bought everything except for one item online.

The one item was very easy to get since I live behind a mall.

Online shopping ruelz.

Yeah, that's true...but it surprisingly doesn't bother me all that much. Christmas shopping is like an adventure. The only thing that really bothers me is the long lines - so if I find something like a cute pair of socks in Hot Topic, I decide it's not worth standing in line for a half hour just to get them...

But otherwise, I guess since I only really have to deal with the mess once a year that it's just all a part of the chaotic fun. My best friend and I still joke about how we had to park on "Perimeter Drive" when we tried to go to Woodfield mall on December 23rd. We had to walk about 15 minutes just to get from the car to the mall. We had fun though.

I think it would be shitty if I had to do it all by myself.

I would have to agree.

Now everyone please buy your christmas gifts through Amazon.com.

When my girlfriend and I went to the mall on Black Friday, it wasn't that bad. I saw a bunch of my friends who were working, got a free drink & cookie from Mrs. Fields, where I used to work-- even though the mall was busy & the Food Court was completely full,we had to wait for someone to leave to get a table. But after she was looking at stuff & trying it all on for a while, I wasn't into it anymore.

I think if I were older I'd have no reason to go to the mall to shop.

Yeah sorry, my Mom has a sponsored Amazon thing so I go through hers.

As a side benefit, you are less likely to get gunned down shopping online than at a mall.

heh...

I dunno though, I think the Cinnabons make up for all that stuff. I really want one now... :(

racist

i love to walk around the mall snacking on pretzels and lemonade while checking out all the hottiez.

del

bit u really dont

In other Christmas related issues:

Anyone that sends a Christmas card that has glitter on it is a FUCKING DOUCHE!

:mad:

I have to open all the mail for my two bosses and I just got tons of glitter all over my hands, which in turn got it on my clothes and face...it's all over my desk. Why would a card company even make a card with so much damn glitter on it?

christmas cards are worthless.

i'm just going to start sending people envelopes filled with glitter.

i hate how people can't obey the lines for parking spots in mall parking lots this time of year. and i can't stand it when people abuse handicap parking. i'm a lady, and i avoid the mall at all costs this time of year, and i enjoy shopping for the most part.

and i'm with you on the cards with glitter thing. they're annoying.

how much shit do you need!!!!!!!!!

PM me your address and see what kind of card i send you for your birthday :p

Exactly. On the few occasions I shop in a store, I go very eary on the weekends or before I go to work during the week. My years in retail pretty much ruined the Christmas spirit thing for me. I am looking forward to New Year's though :)

holy fuck. I just gave my penis a huge hug.

hah!

you're really earning the name krazee in this thread, you glitter hating nazi.

The glitter thing is really annoying. It reminds me of people who send things in those padded mailers that when you rip them open are filled with little bits of cardboard or whatever that just go everywhere instead of bubblewrap. And even if it looks like one of the non-bubblewrap mailers I still rip it open like an idiot and get that shit all over everything.

same here, except it's only after 1 day.


i don't like christmas shopping at all. online wouldn't work for me even i'd avoid the crowds. i need ideas n stuff.

That's part of it too, really. Just browsing around...I never have a reason to, it just makes me sad if I do. So when I actually have money and a purpose, it's nice.

Yeah but browsing around through crowds of people who STAND DUMBSTRUCK IN DOORWAYS LIKE THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO NEXT. IT'S A FUCKING DOORWAY. YOU FUCKING WALK THROUGH IT, NOT ACT LIKE SOME FUCKING STROKE VICTIM.

AND FUCK PEOPLE WHO DO THE LOOKING SIDEWAYS AT A STORE OR IT'S DISPLAY WINDOW WHILE STILL WALKING. I WANT TO SUCKER PUNCH THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS BECAUSE THEY ARE WALKING RIGHT INTO ME.

JESUS CHRIST LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD YOU LOW IQ MUTANT I'M IN FRONT OF YOU JESUS CHRIST GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE DOORWAY PEOPLE WALK THROUGH DOORWAYS.
