It's the middle of November and I am done all of my Christmas shopping. No, I'm not kidding! It's done! I start my Christmas shopping in the summer so that 1. I don't have to shell out money for gifts all in one month and 2. I can actually enjoy the holidays. If you happen to be a normal individual who doesn't do their Christmas or Hannukah or Festivus shopping all year long you might be thinking a trip to the outlets in Freeport is a good idea to find something for everyone on your list. I would agree with you. But before you hop on the interstate, take a moment and find out what sorts of fun things L.L. Bean and the town of Freeport are doing for the season.I'm a big fan of Bean's Summer Concert Series. Little did I know that they hold events during the holiday season, too. Below is a list of events throughout the rest of November and December to help you plan your shopping excursion. Have fun!

by the way, i just hit l.l. bean yesterday, and they're running a promo that gives you a $10 gift card when you spend $25 or more... the only catch is that it doesn't activate for 24 hours- so you can't turn around and use it that very moment. BUT you can use it online.
