I live an hour+ from any city with serious shopping capabilities.

Just ordered an HVLP spray gun, a guillotine paper cutter, hobby paint, three model locomotives and a squirrel cage blower online.

Going shopping for all this shite would have taken most of the day and cost me more.

Walmart.com for the win. Get Christmas shopping done at the same time I knock out my grocery delivery to the house.

Nope, because we aren't doing any Christmas shopping at all this year. Well, hardly any. The wife got a Cartier Love bracelet and we're going on a cruise next week.

I understand online is definitely the better option, but I at least like to buy a few of my gifts in public because it helps me get into the Christmas spirit. I really don’t want to be a Scrooge, this past Halloween I was so wrapped up in work I didn’t even really celebrate the holiday or get in the Halloween spirit. Don’t want the same thing to happen for Christmas.

Yeah, I guess because I grew up in the 80’s when shopping malls were fricking magical, I do still enjoy hitting the mall during Christmas season once or twice.

I miss the idea of Toys R Us or Toys R Us as it was many years ago, but the service before it closed was sort of like going to Popeyes (but there was no delicious fried chicken when you'd leave).

Shopped 100% online this year for the first time. It’s fantastic. Crowds and traffic take the holiday spirit out of me. I’m going to enjoy Christmas more than ever before.

I can look around my house and yard and count on one hand how many things I actually went and bought from a store. Most of everything I own was delivered from Amazon or other online stores.

Yes, it does.

My favorite hiccup with online shopping is when I need an item, your paying for prime, but the delivery dates are 3 or 4 days greater than the one day you were promised when you signed up for prime.

I guess once Amazon BTR at Cortana will solve some of those issues.
