Christmas Shopping

With Christmas fast approaching I tried to get some of my presents bought the other day. But the thought of trawling through shop after shop full to the brim with people, kids and pushchairs filled me with dread! However there didn’t seem to be much that inspired me! I grabbed a couple of things but it didn’t even dent the mountain of presents I have left to buy.
Everyone at work seems to be getting things delivered; maybe online shopping is the way forward for the future. Surely the internet can be a much easier approach to Christmas shopping. I have researched a couple of things that I don’t think are possible to get in any shops near me and I can in this respect see the advantage of online shopping; the ability to find slightly more unusual things or very specific gifts. But I think deep down I’m still a fan of buying something and leaving the shop with it then and there! I want to be able to touch and see it before purchase. But is this a really outdated way of thinking?? One day, will we all be shopping online during our lunch breaks and getting presents delivered to work? Will shops eventually become redundant?? Just look at Woolworths, out of business last year but up and running online in time for Christmas this year!
