Season's Beatings

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.
"In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said, "You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven."
The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It represents a candle", he said.
"Very well, you may pass through the pearly gates," Saint Peter said.
The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells."
Saint Peter said, "You may also pass through the pearly gates."
The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.
St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?"
The man replied, "These are Carol's."

We do it here, I don't think it's as big as it used to be since we adopted black Friday and cyber Monday. I went out shopping for a new tv on boxing day once... never again!
My memories of December 26th are more familial. When I was married, wife and I would go to the mall before opening time. That was the day that Macy’s (in the Bay Area; it was Filene’s in Boston) took down their lavish Christmas display and sold ornaments etc. for half price or lower. It was always like swimming with sharks, since crowds were thick, lines were long, and competition for items people decided “will get” often reached feeding-frenzy levels. By noon, not much was left.
But man did she ever score some beautiful Christmas items.

I'm a bit surprised, you really don't strike me as the type of person who would brave the crowds for a discount.
