Christmas is a time of traditions, but traditional Christmas shopping can be a less-than-heartwarming experience. Unless you are a die-hard shopaholic, the idea of visiting the mall or your favorite department store anytime after the beginning of November probably fills you with a certain dread. First, there’s the parking lot, with its congestion, near-misses, and lengthy hike. Then, there’s the salmon-like, upstream effort to move around in the store against the flow of pedestrian traffic, which always seems to be going a direction opposite of the one you want to go, and which can get pretty rough at times (crazed Christmas shoppers seem to lack the manners and charm exhibited by the average fish). Finally, once you have triumphed over the physical impossibility of arriving at your destination, it remains incredibly likely that half the items you planned to purchase have sold out. You wind up faced with the choice of either doing it all over again later or purchasing substitute gifts for the people on your list from what’s still available for sale, before heading home to begin this year’s wrapping paper wrestling tournament.
