From what I have seen on the news the in store shopping is down by 11% and the online shopping was up by 20% or so.  People are just tired of dealing with the crowds and stupidity that goes along with it.  It is unreal that people will actually KILL another human being to be able to put something under the tree for their spoiled brat.  If you can't find something then get it later.  Probably not something you need anyway.

Last year at our local Walmart there was a man who was trying to unwrap a pallet before time to start that sale.  The employees tried to stop him and he said "nobody will stop me, I will get what I want, I will get it now".  Security from Walmart and the police were soon involved.  Punches were thrown, the man went to jail, the man got NOTHING!"  I thought that was hilarious.

People are too wrapped up in stuff!

I do more in the stores, I prefer to actually have a better picture of what I am purchasing; sometimes what it looks like online and when I receive is not the picture I had in mind, so since I am more of a visual person I do mostly in stores.

I shop in stores as opposed to online shopping. I would rather see the product and make sure it is the right color or size before I actually pay for it. I have had a lot of friends return or exchange items they purchased online because it was not the right color or did not fit.

This year it seems that it is about equal.  I have done some shopping in the stores, but I have also bought some things online.

Online all the way - I have issues with chronic pain and limited mobility so it is definitely easier for me to shop online - also aside from those two issues I can't stand the crowds at the holidays - sometimes people act like jerks so I am much more relaxed and happy to shop at home in my jammies  :silly:

I shop more online during the holidays.  I definately like the convenience of it and I do it to get better prices.
