December 19 is Super Saturday

Did you miss Black Friday, sleep through Cyber Monday and get confused by Green Monday? (The latter isn’t a day to shop for eco-friendly gifts. “Green” stands for money and was dreamed up by the folks at eBay, who deserve style points for their honesty.)

Super Saturday always falls on the last Saturday before Christmas. It’s great news for procrastinators who need to swell the ranks of shoppers desperate to spend hard-earned credit on tchotchkes that will be forgotten the day after Christmas.

In the UK, it’s more accurately referred to as Panic Saturday. Of course, there will still be five more days before Christmas to panic…but try not to think about that now.
