TJ Maxx is one of the US arms of Winners. (see also AJ Wright, Marshalls and Homegoods).

I like shopping at Value Village. It’s totally my new boyfriend.

Personally I like sitting in front of the computer in my pjs and ordering stuff. Or dashing out the first week of December before people realise that Christmas is coming again this year.

Allison, I was planning to do that, but then I watched that CBC documentary on web identity theft …
I’m paranoid now.

BeckEye, that about describes it for me too.

I hate shopping in general. Never had that womanly gene. Christmas shopping is like going shopping with bamboo shoots stuck under your toenails.

I hate shopping & people in general, but I have found that if I go on a weeknight around 6:30-7ish it is not too busy. Next, I can’t be in a hurry. I have to think happy relaxing thoughts. Also, but as much on line as you can – it is wonderful.

I did a lot of my shopping online this year. Which actually took a fair amount of time, but it was time spent in my pj’s with a cuppa tea.

I have to go out now and get some stocking stuffers and I am now happy about it. Stupid freezing rain.

Megan, did mean that. Surely it’s not so stressy in NWT

Doc, you would get on well with Dick. See above comments. Your best xmas shopping would be online with a beer. Correct?
