I haven't been in there for weeks now. I stocked up on everything early, even the cat litter. The couple of weeks before Christmas were bliss in supermarkets - thanks Wal Mart - and Malls.

It seems so strange to me to think that you guys have Boxing day (which is to say Boxing week) sales without the actual Boxing day.

I haven't heard of boxing day sales here, but I haven't been watching much telly lately.

When I lived England I couldn't figure out what had happened. The morning news showed all these people in a closed mall milling about and sitting against the store windows. I really thought there must have been a fire or a bombing close by and the people were told to go there for shelter. Suddenly they start talking about sales. I am thinking what "sails"? What could have happened? Then they explained that they were shopper who were waiting for first shot in line for the stores.

I couldn't believe it. All that for a 30% off hat. Oh well, I think when you go with your friends it is probably fun.
