We don't shop at all. We have everything we need or want in this world, so can't think of an earthly reason for going shopping, especially during "madness" times. If we have to shop for food for some reason during the holidays we try to go at off times to avoid others...nothing I despise more than trying to work around shop zombies, who will bump you repeatedly~or mow you down completely~ with their carts in their oblivion and not even apologize for it.
Each year it's worse and worse, so we generally stay off the roads, staying home and away from the crowds as much as possible. The drivers are just as bad as those pushing shopping carts...rude, impatient, in a big hurry, coming across the line at you, tailgating, cutting in and cutting off.
It's weird to me. It's like the whole nation takes some kind of drug that turns them into something subhuman. I always wonder why people partake of the "drug".
