How much do Kalamazoo shoppers spend on Christmas? In a study of holiday budgets by city, Kalamazoo is pretty grinchy.

Which retail locations have already decided they will NOT be opening on Thanksgiving? Quite a few.

Yep! The minds behind Retro recently opened their latest haberdashery.

So whether you're looking for new Thanksgiving centerpiece or you want to continue building your already huge (and super rad) Halloween collection, you'll find it all in this one-stop-shop. Get a jump on Holiday shopping, while you're at it! Stock up on all those hand-made stocking stuffers that are sure to please.

We've been spoiled with groceries delivered to our door. Now Target is getting on the Shipt wagon. I wish these Kalamazoo stores delivered.

You know what their commercials say: "Out of the stuff you need? Time for a Target run!" But that is about to change. Target is jumping on the home delivery bandwagon and has joined forces with Shipt to bring the "stuff you need" right to your door!

I like to meet for dinner by 6:00, so I'm full and happy before the dinner rush starts, and then I fancy a stroll on the mall, seeing what wares and trinkets are in the window. But that's it; I can't go beyond the window, because most of the stores are closed by 7:00pm. Even stopping for a simple cup of tea after dinner is out of the question at that hour.

We've all seen those hilarious pictures of the #PeopleOfWalmart. Folks who either feel no shame going out in public in almost nothing, in some kind of costume or just the most ridiculous outfit you've ever seen.

If you are feeling a little behind on the decorating, or just need to add a few more tchotchkes to your ever-growing collection, the Holiday Expo is for you.
