Christmas Countdown - 2 days

We have entered the last part of the home stretch, and there are now only two days left before the holiday strikes. I guess Monday, being Christmas Eve, is the last chance for picking up the special something for the special someone, if you're lucky enough to be able to find it in the stores. I have to stay that retailers have been having a number of promotions this season - if it is more or less than normal I'd have trouble saying, but it feels like more from an unresearched and largely uninformed standpoint.

For example, Borders has been falling all over themselves to give me coupons for the last two months, being as I am a part of their 'rewards club' or some such. Every other day I was getting something in the email for 30% off my purchase for the next 48 hours, and similar promotions. I think the sad truth is that more often than not I'd be able to find what I'm looking for online for an equivalent price, so why make the trip? Well, the same might be true of today's little Door Buster event, but they were selling all single disc CDs at $9 this morning, and while you can certainly pick up a lot of similarly priced items on the Amazon, if you are savvy and snag some rarer titles that is one promotion that seemed worth the time. This sale repeats Sunday morning from 7am-11am for the members of the Rewards Club, when you use a coupon that they sent via email, so I'd encourage Preserve readers to go score some good music, maybe even as last minute gifts!
