What's somewhat scary is that the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday) our big mall here opened at 1am. Out of sheer morbid curiosity, my brother and I went there and not only was the parking lot "plum full", but the aisles and stores were jam packed and a few fights broke out.
I haven't been back there since...
I rest my case! lol I've never been a "shopper" and don't understand how some can lurk for hours browsing the stores. Just not my thing.
Here’s an idea for a present from you. Buy an inexpensive candle (pillar?) and some spray craft adhesive and WHITE glitter. Put a piece of newspaper down and pour some glitter on it, in a long row, the length of the candle. On another piece, spray the candle with adhesive. Holding the wick and bottom, roll it in the glitter and touch the candle top and bottom in the glitter. Set aside to dry for a day. (it doesn’t take that long, but I always give it a day) Then tap it a little and trim the wick once it’s in the gift bag.
You can make many candles cheaply once you buy the adhesive and glitter. It makes a lovely snow candle and burns nicely.
Wow thankfully we have not got that craziness yet in Britain 1.00am a few supermarkets open that late but not other shops.
Late night shopping at Christmas goes to about 10.00pm but no later.
