The case for Boxing Day from home

I’ve been sitting on the couch just relaxing on the chaise part of the sectional, napping, listening to music, and catching up on reading. It’s been that kind of day. I’ve skipped out on battling against the crowds on the hunt for Boxing Day goodies, mostly because I don’t have the stomach for that kind of thing. Instead, I’ve been living vicariously through people on my Twitter feed who’ve been sending short missives to the universe about being catty to people trying on ill-fitting clothing. Yeah, just think, I missing all that! Right. Though, that’s not to say that I’m missing out on the deals entirely. A lot of places have been posting some good deals on their online stores. I’m sure there would probably be deeper cuts in person, but I’m all right with it. I mean, if it means I can shop from home where it’s warm and I don’t have to bring out my inner Mars aggression just to get a parking spot, then great. Actually, Best Buy posted their Boxing Day deals on Christmas Eve. So, while I was over at my parents’ place I was perusing the goods from this laptop. I ended up ordering an HDMI cable, a Bluetooth headset, and an iPod dock/clock radio all at decent discounts. If I’m in the mood to brave the stores in person, the 26th isn’t the only day to do so. These discounts tend to last for a few days anyway, right?

Anyway, to all of you that went out to get something, what did you get? Were the crowds out of control? Was it worth the effort?
