All Christmas gifts in person. It’s kind of interesting, now that I think about it because I normally buy some things using the Internet, but I don’t buy Christmas gifts that way. It’s nothing deliberate on my part – it just happens to be the way I do it.

Um ... What's creepy Mocha?

Most years my answer would be 80% online but this year almost all purchases were in person.

This year, I did most of my shopping at the ATM.  I guess that would be in person, even though I prefer shopping online.

In person. I am very leery of giving out credit card info, etc, on the Net.

Most of it in person, a little online. I did most of Darren's online. The rest we did together. My hubby's a big kid, ya'll know that annoying guy who has to get all the tickle me elmos or noisy toys on the shelf going at once? That's Darren. Makes it fun, lol, because he's going to test out pretty much everything!

Good morning TVCHers and Merry Christmas to all of you. Mak1, thanks for noticin'.

HeyitsPollgirl has not been kidnapped but is enjoying the last couple of days in a location without internet access. Santa smiled favorably on her and she will return on Monday.

Here are the results of: If you count the Christmas gift purchases you made, was the majority purchased in person at a retail establishment or purchased via the internet?


internet6
in person26
fifty/fifty4
neither1





The question for today is: Your parents give you a gift of a large sum of cash for Christmas. Let's say the amount is equal to a months income that you normally make. Do you save the money for an upcoming expense that you know you will struggle to pay when due or would you spend it on yourself and buy something you have wanted.


My answer is save it for the upcoming expense.

Would definitely put a large portion of it in the bank, but I would buy something to remember the occasion.

Ordinarily, I would spend a little, but save most. But if it had actually happened this Christmas, I would have spent it all on the 4 pieces of furniture that I desperately want, but know I'll have to save up for!
