I don't shop on the holidays from Thanksgiving through New Years Day. All of the other holidays are fair game.

I try to avoid crowds but sometimes a deal is too good to pass up.

I mean I've opted to work on certain holidays before just to get the extra pay. Some do to avoid being home without family for that holiday, work as a distraction.

I tend to only go out as needed on weekends or holidays, I try to avoid traffic or choas when I can.

Most times on Holidays I don't shop. But I don't have any issues shopping on OTHER religions holidays because people shop on mine and I'm not bothered. But I try to keep off the streets for National holidays

I don't go out on holidays with the exception of the 4th of July, so I agree with you.

I do most of my shopping online so I don't feel I'm hurting anybody if its on a holiday. Then again in my profession (healthcare) someone always has to work the holiday and sometimes its me. Its hard to know where to draw the line with what businesses "need" to stay open on holidays but one would assume that staff ideally would be allowed to take turns on who works the holiday so that nobody has to work them all.

I bought beer today.

I try to avoid going out on the holidays as the free time off (do not have to burn my vacation days) is to be treasued with family.

That said, if something breaks and happens to need replaced on a holiday, I can be tempted into taking advantage of the sales. Such was the case yesterday.

I don't really 'do' holidays at all. Certainly not religious holidays, seldom 'national' holidays such as the 4th or Memorial (even as a vet) or Labor days. For too much of my life, holidays were just a day off that I would have usually gotten paid for but not now.

I just bought charcoal for the grill, so yeah.

Going to Menards as soon as I get away from this screen.

I shop on holidays if I need something or want to go out and eat. I used to have a job where I had to work holidays and it made the day go by faster if there were people coming in and out. Also with restaurants I'm sure they want customers because they are only paid a pittance

I never go out to eat on holidays. I may shop for groceries or if doing a project and need something right away. Otherwise most of my shopping is online and holidays do not make a difference doing that.

Being around crowds tend to stress me out. So, unless the holiday sale is really good, I stay home.

Like I have done in the past, some people work on holidays to get the extra money. So I think it's okay to shop on the holidays. And, you are not nuts.

No. Of course not. It’s not like I have to eat on the holidays, after all. Sheesh!

If it's one of the more important holy days, stores are closed.

Bali bras are 40% off Memorial Day weekend, at Macy's. Just sayin.
