Let's hear your plans for holiday shopping
With the Thanksgiving weekend fast-approaching, the time has come to down plates of turkey and get serious about holiday shopping.
National retail forecasts indicate the economic pressures of higher fuel prices and mortgage market troubles will put a damper on gift buying. But locally, shoppers are saying they won't let economic malaise get in the way of their present purchases.
What drives your holiday shopping plan? Do you follow a budget or let the holiday spirit be your guide? Will you hit the stores on Black Friday, or sit it out at home with online shopping?
I start early at Friday's, I have 3 Long Island Iced Teas and then I,m ready. I wander through the mall in a drunken stupor buying things with reckless abandon.

The Homeless Alliance of Western New York set up an online mall. They get a percentage of anything bought at places like Amazon whenever anyone access the site from their website. So I will sit back at my computer, shop online and help out the Homeless Alliance. www.wnyhomeless.org
