"Mad scramble" to go shopping?

[Archae]

Maybe today in some places, but most people don't wait until CHRISTMAS EVE to rush out and buy, buy, BUY!!!

But a local ABC affiliate just did a "news" story saying that since the "shopping season" is 6 days shorter this year, there will be a "mad scramble" the whole time just to buy the latest crap.

"Buy gifts! Buy gifts! BUY GIFTS!!!'

Sheesh.

1. The commercialization of Christmas

never ends .... the older I get, the more ridiculous it seems to me.

3. I don't scramble, madly or otherwise, for anything.

I might wander aimlessly, though.

4. Haven't done this is many, many years

I'd rather stick a hot poker in my eye than join the "mad scramble".

8. Agree. I did venture out for Diet Coke and bird seed...

and that was about all I could handle.

5. There's a real lemming mentality about it all.

Anyone trampled to death this year racing to get their cheap television?

7. I've done 99% of my shopping online for at least the last decade.

My wife and our two kids work in retail. They all had to work today. I’m home putting up a few Xmas decorations.

The only retail stores I go to during the season are groceries.

9. My Black Friday shopping was nice

I stayed home and saved 100%
