Tis The Season To Get Violent

Don't let this beautiful view of the Swarovski Crystal Christmas tree give you any false assumptions of the environment at the Eaton Centre over the holidays.  What ever happened to "tis the season to be jolly" or "peace on earth and goodwill to all men"?  Well that was run over by, "Move out of the F*$#en way, I have to get that new iPhone 4S!!"

It is clear that shopping at the Eaton Centre is a battlefield of fit soccer moms, desperate husbands, and super grannies.  However, it is not just the Eaton Centre that experiences this yearly time.  The whole city of Toronto is blown into this frenzy of finding the perfect gift for the holiday season. 

There is no need to get upset Lindsay, I will give you some tips about your holiday shopping to kill as many birds as you can with one stone.

• Don't leave your Christmas shopping last minute, it will prevent you from opening up your wrists when others are opening up their presents.
• Avoid the masses by shopping during the early or late time periods of the extended holiday hours.
• Remember you are buying for someone else, not yourself.  So put down those fierce looking boots and get your head in the game.
• Make a game plan of what you want and where to get it.  Don't window shop, that is how people will lose limbs over the holiday season.
• Protect your treasure and hold on to your bags tight.  Don't assume that once you have purchased that gift it is yours, for if you lose your focus for one second another shopper will snag that gift for themselves.

It is a very stressful time of year, so save some time with Cole's Christmas shopping tips.  These tips will get you out of the mall and give you more time to spend with your fam-jam or loved ones.  After all Christmas is not about the Louis Vuitton bag you got or the new sports watch you opened up.  It's about the loved ones that you spend your life with and a time for you to show how much they mean to you:)

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
