apparently some of the big name stores are starting their online sales at 00:01 on xmas morning.

    start_quote_rb.gifSitting in front of elderly relatives playing charades is one way to spend your Christmas Day, surfing for deals is another end_quote_rb.gif

    Whilst I tend to agree with the comments above, I still think that it's wrong for companies such as the ones in the article (or any for that matter) to start theirs sales on Christmas Day.

    I agree, for goodness sake can we not enjoy Christmas day first as a family before the sales kick in!! :confused:

    to be fair, it starts at one minute past midnight, probably before a lot of people have gone to bed so it can be done and dusteed before santa even parks his sleigh ;)

    it is a bit of an odd day to have a sale but no one is forced into shopping are they! and xmas day isn't as important to some people as it is to others
