Punny Poll #13: Christmas in September
Author: Nick
Category: Money
Topics: gifts, happiness, poll, work
I don’t understand how you all manage to get up every morning! According to last week’s Punny Poll, 58% of you do not like your jobs. And if you consider that my readers are likely happier than your typical bunch of folks, then the real percentage of Americans unhappy with their 9-to-5 is probably more like 97%, possibly much higher.
Summer is almost over, and you know what that means: Christmas is right around the corner! Okay, so it’s still nearly four months until the holidays, but that won’t stop advertisers from hammering you with yuletide glee from now until then. Fortunately you’re all smart shoppers and will keep your eyes out for great gift deals whether they come along on January 1st or December 24th. Or are you?

I think you needed a “I don’t do the Christmas shopping” option on this poll too. I’m surprised more people don’t start earlier though.

I have ongoing boxes of gifts I keep as I find things I know family members will appreciate. Usually though, I do a huge “black Friday” shopping spree to finish it all off. Then I have only holiday baking, enjoying the season, and the occasional stocking stuffer to buy.
This being said- I budget about $500 for 3 kids (ages 1, 4, 7), 3 nephews (ages 4, 4, 7), and 10 adult family members. I squeeze every last drop out of my budget! And- gifts are supplemented by some freebies hubby gets working for an auction firm at holiday time. If we had to pay for everything- I would guess it would more than double our costs for the holidays.

Ugh, we’re already talking about Christmas shopping? I know, I know…there are plenty of folks out there that love it and have their season shopping plan all laid out by the end of July. I can’t stand it.
Our christmas shopping now takes place sitting in our local coffee house on a laptop. We now do all our holiday shopping online…no crowds no crazy folks fighting over the last version of the betsy wetsy doll or short tempered folks being rude to each other…just a trendy little coffee shop with a local band playing in the background while we both sip on a hot mocha. Now, that’s my idea of Christmas shopping!

My wife is the poster child for Christmas in September.
She has already got her spreadsheet out with all the things she is looking for and is skowering (not sure if that is a word) the web and off line for deals, deals, deals.
She is good at stretching her budget in order to make it go further, but its also exhausting watching her, especially this early.
I am more of the crowd that waits until after Dec. 20th to consider Christmas shopping.

I hate when the stores start putting up xmas decorations and sales so early, its only like September still, what’s up with that. Its like they skip Halloween completely and try to get their xmas sales started.

Will we see reduced health insurance premiums as a result of the company-wide smoking ban? Probably not, considering all those smokers who will continue to light up at other businesses. The company may be able to use the new smoke-free policy to negotiate its health care premiums down in future years, but I suspect employees won’t see any of the benefits in their share of the costs.
