Christmas craziness
Just look around you, the recession is so 2008. Or at least so it seems when you walk around St-Catherine street in downtown Montreal, and you witness the flamboyant store fronts, the colorful banners and the joyful consumers, prancing around from store to store, shopping for that gift that will make their loved ones feel even more loved.
Yes, the Christmas season has its good sides (vacations, snow, skiing, turkeys and families) and it’s dark sides (shopping, gifts, boxing-day). It’s all about establishing a balancing act, between maintaining your sanity, not offending anyone by not having gifts for them, and still make everyone feel loved. It’s not necessarily easy, but it is doable, and we have 2 resources for you: Montreal-Club.com’s shopping guide and the more professional and serious Montreal Mirror shopping guide (click on “Games”, “Gadget”, “DVDs” and “Music” sections to see the whole guide). The first will set you back only a couple of bucks and might get you lots of love in return, the second, more commercial one, will set you back 3 months of credi card payments, but will make you’re material-goods-loving relatives love you almost as much as they love their flat-screen 100-something inch TV.
Enjoy the sinful pleasures of shopping in Montreal.
