It's that time of year. The sale ads are beginning to come out and the hours of your favorite stores are extending through midnight. The annual "Hunger Games" will begin.

If you are up to the challenge and have prepared yourselves to go shopping for the holidays, prepare to see the following people. I promise, there is one in every crowd.

1. The seriously committed dynamic duo.

Usually, the mother and daughter come up with a grand plan to split up so they can get to everything.

2. The professionals.

Aka: BFP. The clique who has got shopping down pat and will make everyone jealous.

3. The campers.

These people are dedicated enough to their items that they camp out in front of the store, even if it is just for a cheap TV.

4. The people who just want to start a fight.

Beware of Negative Nancy rolling up to cause a scene.

5. The tired one.

The ones who are dressed in their pajamas and just want to get what they need and get back to bed.

6. The Grinch.

The people who can't stand the chaos and rather participate in Cyber Monday from the warmth of their home.

7. The Beginner.

They have never gone holiday shopping in their lives. They get angry when the lines are crazy and they feel stressed and overwhelmed.

8. The automatic bag holder.

These people normally don't have a choice. Bags just get thrown at them as they go from store to store.

9. The Bargainer.

These are the people who roll past you with a cart of 4 toasters, 5 coffee makers, and 7 sets of pajamas. Only because it was an "amazing" deal. A deal that could not be passed down.

No matter what kind of category you fall under, I wish you the best of luck and may the odds be forever in your favor!
