Today I did most of my Holiday Shopping. Not particularly exciting, except that I wanted to write about the experience. Macy's was having a One Day sale, which is usually good for low prices, long lines, and poor customer service because the store is just swamped. Today, however, was exactly the opposite. I was in the foyer 15 minutes before they opened with a bunch of other eager holiday shoppers. As we funneled into the door at 8am sharp, I headed straight for the items I was going to by. (I had done some window shopping earlier). I was having some trouble finding some items but not only was the sales person helpful, she guided me to other things that might interest me. They were friendly, courteous and responded in kind to my playful holiday attitude. I got everything gift wrapped and found some great gifts I wasn't planning on purchasing for 50% off. Hard to pass that up. What a pleasantly surprising shopping experience.

So my advice would be, get in right away for those One Day sales. The people are still in a good mood and you can really have a joyful holiday shopping experience that way. Of course, it doesn't hurt the experience any when you're really excited about the gifts you're giving.



OH, I also saw Meegan Black (a local news personality) while shopping. She's a lot shorter in person than she appears on TV. :)
