Oh I have already started.  I actually picked out a beautiful Brighton Belt at a store at the Mall of Georgia and now I am home I instantly regret not getting it.  So I have crazily searched only to find on on Ebay that is actually cheaper!!  It would be mine but I don't use Paypal.  Does that make me behind the times?  I read it is the safest but it does take a while to set up.  I have purchased things thru pretty secure sites like Amazon (I am hoping) I feel I am ok. 

I do think shopping online is pretty safe for the most part but I don't do a lot of it .  Only if it is something can't find anywhere else or I need it shipped elsewhere.  Still I hate the horror stories of identity theft and  well I don't have a lot of money to take.  I keep those accounts very low and watch them like a hawk.  I don't go crazy at Christmas but I tend to avoid shopping retail this time of year.  If you do the same....Good Luck!  Be safe.

Merry Christmas!
