Press Release Body = Houston, Texas - December 17, 2005 - Imagine driving all over
town, looking for the perfect gift. At the last five stores you\'ve been to, no one
said \"Merry Christmas\" they all said \"Happy Holidays\" instead. You are burning gas,
standing in long lines, and are getting more stressed by the minute. These are just
a few of the reasons that thousands are turning to online shopping. This year,
online shopping sales are expected to total almost $20 billion.

Christmas has always been and will always be Christmas. Simply changing the name,
or how we greet one another, will not change the way that things are done. The
stores will continue to be filled with the hectic holiday shuffle of Christmas
shopping and long lines of vicious shoppers. Some of them are not past knocking you
down, pushing you out of the way, punching you, or possibly worst, all in search for
the perfect gift. However, it doesn\'t have to be this way. Each year, more
people are discovering the ease of doing their Christmas shopping online. Shopping
online helps eliminate a lot of the stress and frustration that has become
associated with Christmas shopping. A survey commissioned by Yahoo Small Business
has revealed that there will be a significant increase in online shopping this
Christmas year. More than 8 out of 10 holiday shoppers say they will shop for
Christmas gifts online. According to the survey, nearly one third of shoppers said
they will do at least
half of their holiday shopping online. In addition, nearly two thirds of holiday
shoppers said online specialty retailers are the \"best places\" to shop for unusual
or hard-to-find gifts.

Everyone\'s doing it - You may not realize it, but online shopping is very much a
mainstream practice these days. According to an article in the Wichita Eagle (Kan.),
\"Last year, consumers spent $481 million on Dec. 1, the highest-traffic day.
Consumers spent $13 billion online during the holiday season last year, Visa says.
The busiest days for online holiday shopping are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Visa says
2.5 million households are expected to shop online for the first time this holiday
season.\" You can buy almost anything online these days, from wine to books to
furniture to clothes. You can do so conveniently from your home, without having to
fight any crowds or bad weather. You can do plenty of research online, too, reading
many customer reviews of products, for example.

Start with something small perhaps and get the experience of shopping online under
your belt. Experience the peace of mind of finding the perfect gift and still
having time for yourself. The hottest gifts to give, for any occasion, and other
