Am I doing something wrong?

My tree is up and decorated and my Christmas poem is almost ready to mail, I've even strung some lights on my balcony railing.  But, according to the media I've missed out on the most important steps. I didn't shop on Black Friday, I didn't shop on Small Business Saturday and, so far, I haven't shopped on Cyber Monday. Since I'm retired and can shop when I want to, I think I'll wait for "The Mall's not Too Crowded Today Wednesday."
