Seasons greeting internet, for those of you that are shopping procrastinators and have now officially missed the window of opportunity to do your shopping online and delivered before Christmas. You folks are now in the middle of the final countdown to find your last minute shopping deals for those gifts that you should have purchased online a week ago, it’s crunch time internet
I find it easy to write about this time of year because I am self proclaimed Christmas shopping procrastinator which I think is pretty typical when it comes to guys. Let’s face it internet in general the idea of shopping is really not a favorite past time for guys, I’m just sayin’. So the idea of going out into sea of stores at this time of year is really not appealing at all. Which is probably why the number of online shoppers keeps going up every year. Honestly what is not to love about getting all your gifts for family and friends on the internet and letting UPS/Fedx handle all the shipping for you. It really does not get any easier than that yet year after year there are still millions of people that wait too long and are stuck with that last dreadful option of going out into the stores and fighting the traffic and crowds of people.
It’s not like buying stuff on the internet is a new concept yet there are millions of people that subject themselves to the stress of last minute holiday gift shopping. I would love to know why during this one time of the year so many of fall into this trap every year of waiting until the last days to go get it done? Seriously it’s not like the sales and marketing of all these stores are not being seen. Yet I continue to put it off until I get into this crunch time and now I will have to grin and bear it.
Don’t get me wrong internet I do love this time of year and all the cheer and good will that I see on a daily basis for these few weeks is great. Getting together with family and friends that I don’t normally see during the year and seeing how much the kids have grown since the last time I saw them. All great things and definitely enjoy more and more as I get older.
I was just curious internet if there are any “cured” holiday shopping procrastinators that have managed to beat the odds this crunch time
? Seriously I don’t have this issue when it comes to other holidays, anniversaries or birthdays but for some reason when we get to these few last weeks of the year…… I wait until the last minute. So if any of you have managed to get over the hump this time around and are sitting back and enjoying the peace of mind you have knowing that you are all done share your shopping secrets with some comments at the bottom of the page.
