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.

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.
