Don't Let Last-Minute Christmas Shopping Ruin Your Holiday Spirit
By Diane Tait As I sit here writing this blog, there are only two more days left before Christmas. This is the time when panic sets in as shoppers looking for last-minute gifts clash with those looking for last-minute deals. As a result, the stores are jammed, the parking lots and streets fronting shopping centers are chaotic and tempers fray. In short, if you have yet to complete your holiday shopping list, you had better grit your teeth and get ready for a stressful situation that may rui your holiday cheer. What’s even worse is that as Christmas Eve fast approaches, the number of auto accidents, road rage incidents, and ER visits spike as well. To help you deal with the worst of last-minute madness, I thought I’d dedicate this week’s blog to gifting you with the five things you need to know to survive the final two days of the Christmas shopping season.
