"Twas The Night Before Christmas,"  email this discussion to a friend?

and I was out shopping.

This used to be the case with me some years, but not anymore. I really try to get all of my shopping done before Christmas Eve. I now find the crowded stores, and items that are out of stock, too frustrating to deal with. I guess if I 'had to' shop on Christmas Eve, I would. However, I'd much rather avoid it.

What about you? Are you a Christmas Eve shopper?

Have you ever done all of your shopping on Christmas Eve?

If so, what is the reason for this?

Have you ever shopped until the stores actually closed?

Hi there!

I don't like going anywhere on Christmas eve. On Christmas eve, I like to relax and celebrate with my family. I do Christmas shopping all-year round. Every time there is a Sale or a promo or discounts and bazaars, I find good deals and get them, and I keep them so that when Christmas comes, there will only be a few gifts left to buy.

its actually fun to go out and shop at the festival eve, but the stores are full of people and the rates are sky high so we will have to do it before if we don't have time to shop at that moment. but its always to to shop with our friends on the festival eve.

No I am not even though I used to be when I was working Full Time I hated it because it seems everyone goes shopping that Day and the Queues used to be miles long, I would at least stand in a Queue for about an hour, which was fine then as I was not Ill then, now I can't do it, I went with my Daughter last Year on Christmas Eve and I had to leave the shop I could not breathe
I rather do it bit by bit now and then have it all there ready and no worrying
Love to you
Hugs

Since I'm making over 90% of my gifts, I guess I'm pretty much done....

I could never be a Christmas Eve shopper. I like things to be done ahead of time and prepared so I don't have to scarmble around. I also host Christmas Eve, so if I had to shop in there too it would be too much.
I do think that anyone who waits to shop on Christmas Eve gets the best deals of us all. The stores want to clear out their stock so you see many great buys on Christmas Eve.

Walmart is a MADHOUSE on Christmas Eve. I have done it just once, and that was enough for me to never want to do it again. I do like going when it isn't so crowded. I like playing with the kids stuff they have on display. I am like a kid when I am looking for Christmas gifts.. I don't do much of that anymore.. but it used to be fun.

I've always been the epitome of the Christmas Eve shopper...and not by choice either. It was always either because of my work hours, or because of money issues. I will hopefully have my shopping done tomorrow and won't have to worry about the last minute thing. It's close enough to Christmas Eve though isn't it? ROFL!

I cannot bear shopping this close to christmas, someonesmom. I end up frustrated and ovewhelmed by the crowd. I havent bought for anyone but my daughter.

ive never shopped till the stores closed, thats for sure, i can imagine thats a night mare.

Apparently you haven't been shopping with the right person, Curly. I bet if we went shopping we'd have a lot of fun. Have you ever heard of a place called, "Almost Perfect"?


myLot reputation of 88/100. CurlyRed (3467)  4 years ago

happyAs a matter of fact.. I have.. Just hearing the name of that store makes me smile.. I'd like to rent the whole place for a personal shopping experience.. you're welcome to join me.

I never do my Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve. The stores are always full of people, who are sometimes grumpy and rude. You can never find what you want, because they usually are sold out.

I like to do my Christmas shopping online. I go to a few websites and order my presents. It does cost more, but it is better than running around from store to store, trying to find what you need, since you can find presents from the comfort of your own home..
