Sometimes; however, I usually shop throughout the year, when I find a good deal on something I'd like to give a friend or family member. Hate crowds! Pride myself in never having participated in Black Friday!

I shop on line as little as possible - and I don't do the malls, either. Generally I pick up gifts throughout the year OR shop at small, local stores. It's a lot more fun that way and it helps support our community, which is something I feel very strongly about.

Yes, mostly amazon.com, the kids sent me some items they wanted for xmas every year, and they send me the link to amazon, so I do a lot of shopping for xmas there, and I can get my printer ink throughtout the year cheaper than anywhere I can get it in town here. Sometime's I shop on line at Kmart an walmart when I dont' see the item in the store and sometimes the same for Shopko and Target, I have a bad knee and kidney disease so alot of times I can't go out, so I like the online shopping the best.

Ordinarily I'm a big fan of shopping online - but at Christmas time my work schedule is hectic, so I don't have time to shop in advance to accommodate a delivery... so I hit the malls, big time! I like walking around in the malls anyway.
So my answer is Yes, but No.
