I use the Internet A LOT to shop, but normally, I like to jsut use it as a referance, you knwo see if the store near me carries it and go get it... haven't thought about it for Christmas time though... it sure would be the hell outta the crowds and most places ship to your house anymore... I think I might :)

I will definitely be using the internet for shopping, for several reasons:

1. I live in Alaska, and don't want to fight thousands of idiots on the icy roads to find a parking spot.

2. We don't have all the stores in Alaska that the Lower 48 has, and even the store we have often don't carry some of the items you can get in the Lower 48.

3. I can find better deals on line than I can find in town.

OMG, we've bought so much stuff so far, my mom got the credit card bill and it's outta here! And that's just the one that we use ONLY for internet shopping. Even when it's not the holidays, we order so much we have something(s) new on our doorstep almost everyday.

I love using my credit card... without it, I'd surely die, and if I continue to use it, I'll never save money for a house :(

My parents are daring, and they're planning to get me my own credit card that is connected to their account, so they're really taking a risk with me, because I'm a compulsive shopper, and I can't stop.
