Some shops down in the city, and around the country in other cities I think, are open for 36 hours straight leading up to Christmas, and I thought "who the heck does shopping then?!?!?!?!" but I guess some people must, since they open that long?
The only thing I can think of is shift workers... So has anyone ever done shopping in the midnight to 6am time and NOT been a shift worker?
What's the latest you've done your shopping?
We went at 8pm one Christmas on a midnight shopping night (I think it was the 23rd so pretty close to Christmas day too), and it was deserted? BUT I've never been to the city to do Christmas shopping.... is it really busy?
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!
Has anyone ever gone 2am Christmas shopping?
