I know it's a bit early to start with this, but what the heck? Everyone else is doing it. As we all know Christmas season usually starts from the end of November and ends somewhere in the first week of January. The mark of the beginning is usually Thanksgiving, and more specifically, the wholesale holiday known as Black Friday. Three years ago a tradition started, a very bad, annoying tradition. It was the unfortunate beginning of the extended Christmas season. For some reason, people started to think that they should start their Christmas shopping before Halloween. There are a few flaws with this plan:
~ Presents sit in your house for 2 months [while you resist using them...]
~ Around 75% of the time, you won't get your best deal. Retailers give that false sense of security, knowing that you spent 150 bucks on something that's 200 bucks. Come a week before Christmas, the price is down to 100 bucks. *hehe, suckaZ!*
~ Prices tend to drop at the end of the season.
~ Newer/better electronics come out at the last quarter of the season.
All of that, and it's really annoying to see some lame-o, random, and manic couple buying gifts in a mall that's filled with Christmas decorations.... on October 25th!
