Why do retailers insist on calling it "holiday shopping" but start all their sales on December 26th? If it's the "After Christmas Sale" then wasn't it also "Christmas Shopping?" Spread the fire. GS

I am one of the people who get Christmas stuff after Dec 25 because of the 25 percent sale. Not everyone can afford the before Dec 25 sale.
For example wrapping paper 4$ before Dec 25 and 1$ after. It is silly but it is also a reality. Keep posting cathy

I definately think that the best time to buy presents is in the aftermath of Chrismas, at the end of January when shops are desperate to get rid of old stock. There is no point in buying before you only pay twice as much as you would after the event.
