There used to be a door opener special on big ticket items for boxing day -I remember going to get a big TV at 6AM to get a good price - good price - but it was sure cold waiting to get in. I recall a lot of other people waiting in line too. God knows what time those in front got there - maybe camped all night to save $200 if lucky - $50 more likely. Anyway my question is- does this mean that there is a looming disinterest for pre-Boxing Day Week sales?
Perhaps it does. I was hooked into buying a dishwasher 10 days ago which was tagged with "Boxing Week Special" - it wasn't boxing week. It seems that the plan is to get people to buy after Christmas, which means the accountants and bookeepers get to work harder to get things entered before New Years Day, when the January sales begin. Seems to me its a faulty plan or an attempt by the higher religious orders to get folks back to the real meaning of Christmas, and in the process get more focus on the good samaratan deeds and help for the less fortunate -and there are so many of those - I've seen it. I sure feel lucky to have been born here - can't imagine really growing upo in most of the places I work these days.
Anyway the whole exercise of present purchasing is too chaotic, so I am glad to have opted out early. Now to wrap or not to wrap.... any thoughts?
