There are people who are going to disagree, dislike or even proclaim that they hate your guts.
And there are others who are going to tell you to keep doing what you’re doing because you’ve said what they’ve been feeling and thinking all along.
We all have biases, we all have opinions and our experiences are all different.
I for example, may think that Montreal is one of the coldest, windiest cities I’ve ever lived in, but someone who has lived in Antarctica would think the weather is a walk in the park.
Lame example, but I am not looking to start a fight discussion on here.
Nobody knows this better than independent bloggers…. or politicians for that matter.
Even the sweetest, kindest blogger will get a nasty comment on occasion from some disgruntled soul.
The best you can do, is do what you do, with passion.
You just can’t please everyone, so stop trying and voice your own opinion.
You are going to find the fiercest supporters for your voice, and the angriest ones right beside them.
That’s just the beauty of it all.
With that being said, who is going out for Boxing Day? Anyone? I may brave some crowds with BF, but only if the weather behaves.
Just a girl trying to find a balance between being a Shopaholic and a Saver.

People get really sensitive around Christmas, but it's a little insane to tell someone who celebrates Christmas that they can't wish a happy one to other people.
Amazing how entitled blog readers start to feel, huh?
I went to Reitmans yesterday (a stand-alone store, not one in a mall), and it wasn't bad at all. The changerooms were busy, but they have something like 15 (probably more) changerooms, so it was quick enough.
While there, I ran into an old friend and an old coworker. Then old friend, myself, and our boyfriends all went out for lunch! (A late lunch, since previous to the clothing store, boyfriend and I went to Big Al's Aquarium store with my mom, who then took more than 2 hours selecting an aquarium. The clothing store was removed from her list since she had to start preparations for the second big family dinner.
We are definitely not going out for boxing day…especially with the freezing rain we have. To me, I'd rather pay a few extra bucks than to get in a bad mood over desperate large crowds of people. Unless it is a crazy sale of course, but I haven't seen many of those in the last few years. Hey, way to go on clearing your 60K debt so quickly…that's pretty impressive.
good post. I am braving the crowds, but am not driving so that makes me happy
Girl, who is up in your shizzle? I can take them out for you!!
