    I love to shop in the stores. I love the hustle and bustle, plus you don't get all the sights and sounds of the holiday with online shopping.

    I hate having to shop when the stores are crowded, and sometimes people take what you want. But online you get all the time you want and your feet dont hurt. plus you dont have to fight with someone over a product

    I don't mind shopping online, because I do it alot, BUT I don't like paying for shipping and handling. Also I tend to want what I'm going to get fast even if it's not for me. If the online store has shipping deals, then I def will buy online. Going to the stores is fun anyways, because it's a beautiful time of the year and the weather is perfect for shopping! I love shopping overall!

    It's easy to shop online, and i usually do shop online. However, during the holiday season, i feel like it's tradition to go out in the freezing weather amongst all of the holiday crowd, and shop! It's so much fun!

    If I am shopping for someone else, I usually like to see and touch the item I am planning to get for them. Also, it is sometimes a problem returning an item to an online retailer for the person if they don't like the item. It is easier to do returns in the store for them. That being said, I do alot of shopping online. If I find the PERFECT thing for someone in my family, I will purchase it. I usually don't purchase online for friends, though.

    I like to shop online because I can compare prices and usually can get a coupon code for just about most of my purchases! The convenience of shopping anytime I want is also a plus:)

    I like the excitement of shopping in the store. I like hearing the christmas music and all the sales. Also, I'm a hands on kind of person. I don't get that from the internet.

    I actually like doing both for the holidays because I shop sales year-round for the holiday gift giving.
