Thanksgiving is a time of roast turkey, relaxing on the couch, and it marks the beginning of holiday shopping. Online sales alone last year reached $400 Million. This hearty American tradition of stockpiling for under the Christmas tree leaves some people dreading the whole weekend and others totally excited. We set out to discover the sentiment around this uniquely American holiday tradition.

Using Socialight’s keyword search, we looked at how people expressed themselves in posts about holiday shopping. Here are the results, simplified into an array of “Yes” for shopping and “No”. Have a look and let us know which side you’re on.

Thanks from everyone at Socialight and enjoy your Thanksgiving, however you celebrate it.
