I've been going to the shops after dinner, around 8-9pm and its wonderful - no line ups or having to work your way around people. I'm not a morning person so this arrangement works well for me.
As for the midnight shopping adventure I thought I would have had to do that this year as I get paid on Christmas Eve.
Yep I've shopped it and I've worked over night too when I was 2ic at a store at Chadstone. It was flat out all night
Interestingly enough there was all sorts but I had a lot of calls the previous day from interstate travellers so reserve stock for them to pick up on the way through at 2 or 4am. Guess a lot of flights happen late or super early and they wanted to do some shopping on the way
My sister & I used to make it an annual event until I had babies!
We would go at about 10pm and come home around 1-2am I think. It was always really busy when we first got there and would quieten down around the time we left. We just did it cos it was fun and we could!
But having said that, I am the type to do things like that, the kmart near my parents house used to be open 24 hrs so we'd just go there at midnight if we were bored!
We were out till midnight last night. And often we do the 2 am thing just to be able to get out of the house at that hour. Crazy but FUN! It's never really packed, too many people like the hustle bustle of the daytime shop, or can't get out at night, or work etc. I'm done this year. So if we do go out at 2 am it will be purely for fun!
Me. This year Im not getting paid until the 23rd or the 24th, so I need to do the remainder of my christmas shopping (so like 70% of it) then. Im expecting to be out all night
