I don't push and shove, and last year, at sears, when the pushing and shoving started, i sorta hid in women's underwear until the madness died down. lost out on a couple of deals, and took me a while to find the bf again, but at least i wasn't hurt!
=) It also helps to go in with a smile-ly, shiny attitude, it disarms those mean crazies.
In years past, this too has been our tradition also with my sister and my mother. However, in more recent years with my mother's failing health and our own children, who don't like the shopping and the crowds, want to have our own family traditions. I usually do venture out later in the afternoon. Just have to get that crowd maddness fix I guess.
