Nowadays, the whole fourth quarter is considered the holiday season. Costco put Christmas decorations out in late September! Who doesn’t like the clothes, decorations, food, family, music and continuous reruns of favorite movies?

 
 
 

Holiday cheer also comes with impassioned shopping. There are Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with weekly versions of both. And of course, there wouldn’t be a holiday shopping season without the massive discounts on TVs, computers, electronics and gadgets. Let’s not forget the endless in-store announcements and coupon mailings offering sales.

You might have even pre-prepared yourself for the price shock, but there’s nothing like the reality of “the check.”
