You have a ton of Christmas shopping to do and its always more fun to shop with friends. The traffic is going to be horrendous and after visiting all those fabulous stores it would be nice if you could just enter your destination and the car takes you home without any help from you. Problem solved; host a shopping excursion.
Think about all your friends that feel the same as you do. Oh, and they have friends, and they have friends, and they have friends. Trust me, it's not that difficult. Whether you decide to make it a local trip or you think you might want to go out of state, make it fun, fun, fun. Call three bus companies (I say more than three and you start to get confused) let them know whats going on. Get all the pertinent information; cost, length of trip, deposit amount, when deposit is due, when balance is due, etc. Discuss it with your friends, give them a deadline (always make it before your actual deadline date) and start collecting money.
If you decide to make it an out of state trip make sure you choose somewhere close that will be easy for a round trip. You must get the coach bus as they will be supplied with a bathroom and you and your guests will have more comfort.
The yellow school bus works well for local shopping trips just remember to leave room in the back of the bus for all the packages Santa gives you to bring home.
Local or out of state I say spend the extra dollars for snacks. Also, make sure you have some fun Christmas games to play on the bus. Whichever route you take remember to have fun, enjoy the folks you invite, shop till you drop and leave the driving to someone else.
