When does the holiday season starts for you? If you want to be exact, the holiday season is only a period between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but for most of us holidays start a lot earlier. We can hardly wait for the holidays, and we want to enjoy every minute of it. This is why everybody starts with their holiday shopping a lot earlier than Thanksgiving. You don’t want to wait to last minute to buy your present, don’t you? Is there anything worse than needing to come up with a new idea for a gift in the last days before Christmas because the gift that you originally planned has already sold out? Your father really doesn’t want another pair of socks, and if you don’t start early enough that is what he is going to get.
