I’m an outlier as far as shopping is concerned. I finish my shopping and my winter purchases BEFORE Thanksgiving week. Why would I want merchandise that’s been mauled over, returned and resold, maybe even used and worn? I’d rather pay a few extra dollars and get exactly what I want.
Were they assault knives?
I don’t buy anyone anything for Christmas and that solves the problem of shopping.
Christmas is God’s birthday not a shopping fest.
