How many of you are going to brave the crowds in the morning?

[Boo'sMom]

I was out at 9:00 this morning...apparently before anyone else was shoveled out.

Made my exchanges, and was home in record time....darn plow-guy still hadn't been to my house though....Thank God for those gas guzzling SUVs....lol

Stocked up on wrapping paper for next year....I've never done that before...I'm ready for Xmas all over again.

I really really hope everyone went out this morning and is too tired to go out tonight. I am in no mood to deal with more grouchy people than I have already dealt with today... and today is one of my long days working 2 jobs.... GAH! And I have to work with all boys which is like being back in pre-school!

I'm fixing to head out to return 2 things and buy Moulin Rouge on DVD

 

[ByTheSea]

Headed out around 6:40 a.m. - made one return, got several new holiday decorations and a few extra things that I had considered buying as gifts but didn't - was home by 8:15!

It really wasn't crowded at all! No wait for the return or checkouts.

I was at Target when they opened, only half a dozen people waiting, most of them men ages 50-65 who grabbed two cards and made a mad dash to the holiday lights. They were literally clearing the shelfs of lights when I got there. Very intense and competitive, they had the aisle blocked off with their cart and gave out dirty looks to anyone who squeezed by - good thing I wasn't looking for more lights!

Compared to you guys I started late (about 10:30). We went to the malland was very surprised that I got a parking spot pretty darn close to the entrance. That in itself made my day. The kids used some of their mall gift certificates at clothes stores ( we were in and out of there pretty quickly). went to Yankee Candle Store and got good discounts there too. Few more stores in the mall. Lunch in the food court and was out of the mall at 2pm loaded with bags ( and not feeling stressed).
Went to Target and got wrapping paper bows and 2 big nutcrackers all at 50% off (nutcrackers look beautiful on mantle). Then next door to Linens N Things. There I got an 18 ft. lighted garland for $5.00 and a picture frame for $4.99 ( again...gotta love 50% off). I could've bought more, but by that point the natives were getting restless and wanted to play with Christmas gift so home we went.
I think the best thing I got today were the nutcrackers.

I won the battle of the DVD section! I nabbed the last copy of Moulin Rouge and 2 high fashion magazines
