Holiday season is hereee...
Yaaaay...
What a festive month!
Well, whenever you go here in NYC, burst of red, green, silver and gold are popping up here and there. Blinking lights from trees and windows, piles of glittery colorful gift boxes, and tons of chocolates, candi canes and cookies are such a feast to my eyes.
And although we don't celebrate Christmas, but we do love to see the joyful spirit everywhere. Besides, our neighbors and the owner of the house we've been renting so far always spare their time and give us gifts although we said that we're not celebrating it. So, sharing and caring are indeed the values that we hold dear regardless of your religions or faith.
Aaand.. I got to admit that I really enjoy the sale.
Big, big sales almost on everything, almost everywhere.

Don't get me wrong..
Of course holiday is not about it. But if you can get an extra bonus of saving while you focus and share more attention to your families, friends and people around you, why not :).
So, one of the 'rituals' that I do before going rampantly buying things is window shopping. Yuuup.. Window shopping!
I guess I read it somewhere that window shopping is the favorite pastime of all New Yorkers.
Isn't it fun? Or you think it's dangerous as you might be tempted to get things that you don't actually need? To me, it works the other way around. I tend to be more determined in buying certain products (that I have been meaning to buy :)) after strolling around those department stores and shops. I know, it's time consuming and tiring as well, but whenever I have time, I will sneak to those places. It's a like a wonderful intermezzo for me as well.

And I do it online too :).
Nowadays, who wouldn't do it.
I gotta say my hubby is even addicted to it as I keep catching him finishing one or two transactions from his smartphone or our computer.
And even while doing online shopping, I have my window shopping ritual, too. Checking all those websites, clicking links from emails, fetching online coupons and more.

There are times when I don't really have time to go and mostly stuck at the office, so I use my break to again sneak a peek to those webs :). Naughty me...
