I feel the same way. The stores often run better sales closer to Christmas if you watch and wait. I have a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit when all the rude, obnoxious bargain hunters are out. Not everyone is that way, but, around here, the jerks outnumber the nice shoppers. Christmas has gotten way too commercial. I think too many people have forgotten the reason for the season. I wish we could go back to simpler times.
