Having worked retail and the holidays all my life including thanksgiving day when it was necessary. I don't see the problem with shopping online as we sip our morning tea/coffee. I worked hard yesterday to get all my prep work done to make today easier. Its only my immeadiate family as most other relatives are gone. We have this as a day of family things , we play together, shop online together, look at what we want from santa online cook and eat and cleanup together. Both my boys live home and help me as does hubby. I will be working hard the next 2 days to try and satisfy angry , grabby, pushing and nasty customers all trying to get the one thing everyone else wants. Thank goodness 95% of my customers are not that. I will totally enjoy my holiday with my family and happy I got a deal on this flannel for the groups I make quilts for.
