December 4, 2012 Our 4th annual Townsquare Shopping Expo is coming up this weekend. Don't miss out on a wonderful time to do a little Christmas shopping for friends, family and even yourself.
Retailers are competing hard to get inside your wallet this holiday season, and as a result, there are big savings to be found in checkout lines all across the country. We know a few ways you can take advantage of this.
Black Friday brings out some of the most hilariously strange antics of us Americans. On Thanksgiving we give thanks for all the great stuff in our lives, and just hours later, we're waiting in massive lines and getting in spats with fellow consumers over the latest deals on video games. That's the good ol' USA for you.
It's not just the big-box stores like Walmart and Target who get mobbed by 'Black Friday' shoppers. Here you can watch as hundreds of women prepare to trample each other for fancy underwear at their local Victoria's Secret.
With marriage comes new traditions -- something Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott is learning this holiday season. This year marks the first time the 'Wanted You More' frontwoman will be away from the Scott clan, instead spending time with her new, extended family.
The big gimmick this Thanksgiving season is retailers beginning their Black Friday sales on Thursday, a day previously reserved for turkey and football with the family. This has understandably annoyed retail employees, who now have to work on what was previously a holiday. It also isn't necessarily winning over consumers.
Holiday shoppers have been sharpening their skills for weeks in anticipation of all the Thanksgiving and Black Friday deals that are schedule to go down before most holiday dinners are even digested.
Trying to find the lowest prices on toys this holiday season? The latest industry report indicates that Amazon.com has better deals than retail giants Walmart, Target and everyone else.
November 17, 2012 The 2012 Clyde America Merry Market is a one-day outdoor Christmas Market in Clyde, Texas. The event is scheduled for Saturday, December 1st. Erica Stallings, the Clyde Chamber of Commerce Executive Director says "almost anything goes if you're a vendor, what we will not allow to be sold at our Merry Market are live animals, tobacco or alcohol." While just about anything else is fine to display and sell Erica said "it's still a Family event."

As I mentioned the other day it's time to get that Christmas shopping underway. The local American Business Women's Association (ABWA) has their 37th annual 'Christmas in November' event coming up November 9-11th.
