Christmas shopping is a necessary evil in December. It seems no matter how much I try to prepare beforehand I still have to do some shopping in December. I would much rather travel around town getting life insurance quotes than fighting the crowd at the stores.
I’m almost done with my Christmas shopping but still have a few things to pick up. The crowd just seems to get worse each day that brings us closer to Christmas. I guess people become more panic stricken knowing that time is running out to find those gifts.
Stumble it!

Since I live in a very rural area, and are often subject to lots of snow, I am often forced to do most of my shopping online - which is sometimes a great blessing actually!
Although the crowds are crazy all December, I do remember when I did live in a bigger city and worked in retail, that Christmas Eve is actually quite a quiet day - usually a very male dominated shopping day. If you want to take the chance, waiting until the VERY last minute may be another option to avoid the crowds!

I love shopping on Christmas Eve. I hate when I actually have presents to buy but it’s so much fun just to get out and see what others are doing. There are usually good sales that have begun as well.
