Stores are decorating and preparing for the increased visitors, while families are beginning to make their lists.
I am a fan of getting my Christmas shopping done early. Not too early, like shopping in July, but I usually start the beginning of November.
I mean, why not. Who likes to wait in long lines, fight for parking and deal with lots of people? I guess I do that on Black Friday, so I don't want to deal with that while shopping for gifts in the Christmas spirit mood.
The only shopping I usually prepare to do late is, Christmas shopping with my aunt and sister. It's a tradition. My aunt decided one year, instead of getting us impersonal gifts like gift cards or something we won't like... Let's shop together! What a great idea! Lightbulb moment, people.
My sister lives in Nashville, so she doesn't make it home til a couple of days before Christmas, we pack or schedules tight and end up usually shopping two days before Christmas.
But, it's great. We usually start shopping around noon, grab a bite to eat, then shop so more. Although we know what we will be opening on Christmas Day, we are able to make memories and spend time together.
I like a good deal. Err, scratch that. I love a good deal. My momma taught me right. Shopping two days before Christmas allows for some dag-on-good-deals.
Today, I begin my Christmas shopping at J. Crew. Their holiday bags and boxes are so cute!
Keep calm and shop on, people.
