Day after Xmas Sales....are you going?

My favorite day of the holiday season is the Day After Christmas sales. Or as I call it,
“National Return Day”.

So My question is, are you returning anything or going out shopping for Xmas stuff for next year?


The early bird gets the worm but it’s the second mouse that gets the cheese.

Nope. Nothing needs to be returned. No money left to take advantage of the sales. Dislike crowds.

Gee, that was a boring response?

Why do you ask, Shirl? You want my parking spot? Did I get the only polyester-acrylic shirt with cardinals in your size?

Or the last of the aquarium lamps that look like the fish are moving when the light bulb heats up?

Or the teddy bear with Frangos that says “I love chocolate” when you squeeze his hand?

Or the stuffed kitten from China made from real cat fur?

Over my dead body. I just finished my shopping on the 24th. I don’t feel the urge to go back tomorrow.


Some drink at the fountain of knowledge…others just gargle.

All my gifts were perfect… no returns here!


Everybody got their Black and Decker… Blood and Fettuccini everywhere

Yep! I need a new winter dress coat, and HOPEFULLY it’ll be on sale…aside from that, I don’t have any gifts to return. My mom has a few, though. (Maybe I can get out of that part and come home and watch football…)

I will go, but only to purchase (and take advantage of the sales) as I have some presents for myself (and others) I did not obtain so far. Although, those old ladies in the checkout aisle ARE a major deterrant…

Hell no. I spent all week cleaning my house only to have it trashed again when I hosted my family’s Christmas dinner. (Upside: I got to keep all the leftovers.) I’m staying home tomorrow to reclean the house and then play with my presents!

Of course! I have to go buy wrapping paper and cards for next year at half-price :slight_smile:

Heck yeah I’m going!
Gonna scoop up some half-price christmas tree lights for all my fairy-kingdom style decorating needs and then I’m going to hunt for the new 2000 lego sets.
Gotta spend that christmas money!

actually i told everyone that i was getting their prestents after christmas because the prices are cheaper and i dont agree with the whole commercialization thing and anyway Christ’s birthday isnt even this time of year so it really dosent matter the particular day i give the presents.

Yes, the mad rushes in the malls are a perfect opportunity for me to practice my karate skills. I make a list of 10 items that I know will be heavily desired. I think ninja kick and karate chop my way to these items. If I get 8/10 or more items on the list I win. :slight_smile:

Seriously, this year, yes, but typically not on your life. This year though there are a couple of things that are on sale big-time that I am going to try to get. So watch out shoppers here I come! Hi-ya! :wink:

Boxing Day Sales? noooooooooo save me… I never go near the malls on this day. They are lined up before the stores even open.


We are, each of us angels with only one wing,and we can only fly by embracing one another

This year’s total damage for Xmas stuff bought today, was $2.69. I bought window decals for the window ( one for my son, the rest for other kids)

I was up until 2am last night (xmas night/morning) thinking and inventorying what I have and what I need. I do not need any more wrapping paper. ( I’m thinking of once I run out, I’m going to make my own fabric bags to put the items in and reuse the bags year after year. The waste just kills me every year with paper.) I don’t want anymore ornaments.

But I did buy an over the door valet thing. I put it together and use it in the laundry room.

I went. I shopped. I conquered. Everything I got was 50% off, plus an additional 20% with the store coupon.

Woo-hoo!!!

I went out hoping to get some of the marked-down stuff before it was all picked over. I got a half-price calendar (Millenium Yearbook) and a half-price tree ornament (Opus opening his gift from Bill: a hairball). Unfortunately, Hickory Farms was all cleaned out: no petits fours. I used my Victoria’s Secret giftcert to get a lovely chiffon nightgown. I didn’t use my Borders cards, because I knew parking would be impossible, but I will tomorrow. The only real logistical problem was getting out of my parking space.

Also, I got batteries and scammed the marked down Xmas sweets. I got three boxes of chocolate cherries for the price of one!
