My Christmas shopping irony
Last year, I did the majority of my Christmas shopping online. I got the convenience of not having to brave the crowds in December, and could have everything I wanted shipped to home, or work. It seemed like such a good idea at the time. But, at the end, what actually happened was that I ended up spending more than I had planned for, not a huge margin, but noticeable, and I still had to go out and do a bit of brick and mortar shopping less than a week before Christmas, which is not a pleasant experience. So this year, I thought I’d buck the trend, and try to buy most of my gifts the old fashioned way, by actually going to a store and buying them. I am on holidays from work this week, so I decided I’d spend the day, go to West Edmonton Mall, and get everything done. Granted, this year I have fewer people to buy for than I did last year, so that also makes it easier to get everything done at once
