Stores Open On Christmas
There are only a few hours left before Santa makes his rounds, and last-minute holiday shoppers are hitting the stores for deals during extended hours.
This year, many retailers encouraged procrastinators that were holding off on their holiday purchases by offering Christmas Eve specials and by staying open through the night.
According to the National Retail Federation, one in five holiday shoppers are waited until Christmas Eve to do some shopping.
Shoppers are also spending more this year. A study found that people spent $100 more than they did checking off last year"s holiday wish lists.
