Nationwide retail analysts say instore shopping has taken a hit this year as more people take advantage of ordering online, often with free delivery. However, inperson shopping still generates the majority of the 602 billion expected to be spent. The key has been discounts. Some shoppers just wont spend unless they get a good deal.

They were hoping for a christmas miracle, but it arrive on Christmas Eve. Frank was reading the morning paper when he looked outside and couldnt believe what he saw. The gnomes were standing there behind the sign, looking at me. And i said no way he carefully returned them to their rightful places. Back in here like that. And wasted no time making a new sign. It reads our faith in humanity is restored. And i said god bless them, because i believe that god had a lot to do with this. But janet thinks someone else played a role, someone who has been watching over her family and wanted them to have christmas again.

In concord, Jonathan Bloom born is the sing of israel abc 7 news. Nice ending to that story.

Well, just ahead here tonight, 7 on your sides Michael Finney delivers an important Christmas Gift to a group of people who lost sending a letter to santa or any place else just got a little more expensive.

The new price will take effect on january 26 and will last no more than two years. Postal Officials Say this hike will help the struggling service recoup nearly 3 billion in losses.

A san jose for severely disabled adults is struggling to make life enjoyable for its residents. And among their favorite activities, watching shows on a big screen television. But this fall that set broke, and they could not get it repaired. So they were resigned to a gloomier holiday, until 7 on your sides Michael Finney stepped in. Watching television is the one activity that brings residents together here at shamrock house in san jose. Its a good thing for the household here, because we get to connect with the outside world. Shamrock is a home for quadriplegic adults who rarely venture outside. Instead, television brings the world inside. Its great. Watching people like theyre really here. Together the six residents watch movies, 49ers games and reality shows. The tv is important because instead of living in their rooms like a little bubble, they can come out here and mingle with each other. House manager Fernando Ramirez says tv and movie nights lift the spirits of lonely residents. And so it was huge blow when their lifeline to the world suddenly broke down. It was just completely black. No picture, no sound. The tv did not work. Luckily, the extended warranty was still valid, but only for two more weeks. Right away fernando filed a claim, and a technician came three weeks later. And the part wasnt the right part. So they left. Another technician came with another part. It didnt work either. There was a third visit and a fourth. The tv still didnt work. The mood in the house turned somber. They were all in their rooms, which is not gad for them to stay in their rooms. So i found myself playing Computer Games a lot, which was very boring. It was dark. Nobody was out here. Its like there was nobody living here at all. Everybody was a little bit more sade didnt have the tv, because we had nothing to do but go to our rooms. Reporter fernando says the Warranty Company stopped sending out technicians. They said we werent in the computer anymore and they werent going to honor it. Somebody told us about 7 on your side. We contacted sharps Warranty Company, aig insurance. An agent agreed the set should have been replaced. And a few weeks later, a knock on the door. I was very surprised and very happy. We came home and hey, we got the tv. In an email to 7 on your side, aig insurance said aig warranty works closely with its customers to resolve claims. After attempts to repair mr. Ramirezs television in october and early november, aig warranty determined that the tv would need to be replaced. And it was, with this brandnew 57inch 3d television, even bigger than the old one. And just in time for the holidays. I was surprised it was actually done. Oh, a they were all happy they got a tv. Thank you guys very much. The technicians were unable to fix the tv before fernandos warranty expired. However, fernando was still entitled to coverage. Why . Because he filed his claim before the expiration date. And the new tv has made for a much nicer holiday for the folks at shamrock house. Im Michael Finney, 7 on your side. Happy holidays to all of those guys at shamrock house.

In richmond, a mother and her family are working very hard tonight so they can work even harder tomorrow by giving gifts to the needy. Tonight that program is in a bit of need itself. Here is abc 7 News Reporter Wayne Friedman with more on a charity called christmas in richmond. Well start with the big gifts and put them at the bottom, okay . It would appear to be a Christmas Dream come true in the courtyard marriott, overflowing with present, all given to Edna Campbell and her family to be passed through them. This is not about us. Its not about our family. Its about just giving back. Through actions, through deeds, and some heavy lifting. Edna, her daughter burgundy and the rest of the family spent this morning transferring those hundreds of gifts downstairs to a meeting room where tonight they and friends will organize, wrap, and prepare to give them all away to the people of richmond in need. Our family has been on the other side as well. So its a blessing to now be in the position to be able to be a blessing. It was just eight years ago in 2006 that edna and her family were about to become homeless through foreclosure. Edna was feeling sorry for herself. At that point, burgundy sat her down and said this is a perfect time not to grieve, but to give. Well, to take the focus off of what we were going through, reaching out and helping somebody else kind of shifted what we were going through. So it we thought less of what we were going through by helping someone else. That was the beginning of this Family Charity called christmas in richmond. And look what it has become. So right now not only do they give gift, tomorrow they will feed some 800 people. When edna found out she needed more cooks this year, she somehow convinced Hometown Buffet to donate hundreds of meals. And at a local chevys restaurant, edna merely asked the general manager for a discount to supplement her own money. The restaurants have basically a penny. And yet there is a downside here. Even amidst the generosity. Because compared with other years, donations in 2013 have dropped. In previous years, they have filled this place. Well, im trusting and believing that the overflow is on the way. I know its late in the evening. But i believe its still coming. If you dont already see it, Edna Campbell is a woman of faith. She will be here waiting, even if it takes all night. From the courtyard marriott in richmond, Wayne Friedman, abc 7 news. Thank you, edna. Well, people in minnesota will wake up to a White Christmas in the morning. This is what it looks like in duluth tonight. Theyre expecting about 2 to 4 inches overnight.

Every week we have special access to the 49ers star tight end. Abc 7s mike shumann spoke to vernon right after the win. First time this year i think you havent had a cast. How hard is that for a player to work as hard as you do and not see the ball in your hands . Its tough, its tough. But i cant pout about it. I cant get upset. That was my earlier days. I just move forward. I just move forward. Because a win is more important than anything when it comes to the team. Arizona, going into their house, i dont know if you got to see them the other day. But theyre playing some good defense. Thats not a gimme. Well just say that. Hey, i mean, thats what this league is all about, you know. This is the nfl. Everyone is good. You cant take no day off. No days off, nothing. But we look forward to the challenge. Dont look for raiders head coach dennis allen and Terrelle Pryors agent to Exchange Gifts this year. Pryors agent Jerome Stanley pryor was starting because he wanted to see him struggle and justify his decision to go with matt mcgloin the past five weeks. Allen called it, quote, the stupidest thing he has ever heard. No coach in their right mind, this isnt the real housewives of beverly hills, all right. This isnt made for tv drama. Okay, this is football. And we make our football decisions based solely on that. Nothing other than that. Im very happy that coach gave me this opportunity. I know for a fact the man coach allen is. He wouldnt do that doesnt even cross my mind, a possibility. So i know he wants to win. He always talks about winning. And we have a good game plan. At the hawaii bowl, boise state was without quarterback Joe Southwick because he allegedly urinated from a hotel balcony. Southwick, who is from danville claims he is innocent, and even took a polygraph to prove it. He was still sent home. Look closely, you might see larry beil out there catching a wave. The beavers got off to a fast start. Shawn mannion to Brandin Cooks for the games first touchdown. Things would get worse for boise state. Quarterback grant headrick coughs up the ball. Rashard reynolds scoops it up. Reynolds returned another fumble 70 yards for a touchdown. Ward capped off a 31point first half with this strong nineyard run. Oregon state wins, 3823. The warriors will be home for christmas. Theyll host the clickers tomorrow night at oracle. Right now golden state is in eighth place in the western conference. But are within three games of five teams. In video provided by the warriors, head coach mark jackson was asked about trying to improve his teams position. When the schedule eases up, youve got to capitalize. And then when youre playing tough teams on the road, or at home, what have you, you have to make sure you keep your head above water. I like where my team is at and how were playing right now. Warriors going for the Third Straight win. Im so excited about the warriors. Go for the Third Straight win tomorrow night. Thanks. Its on the list, santa. For all of us here, rick quan, sandhya patel, thank you for watching. We appreciate your time. Have a Merry Christmas. Enjoy this time with your plante family. Join us again tonight if you can. [ ] wow, they found a way to make the human being even creepier. Covering him in icicles. I think its festive. Yeah, my favorite christmas tradition is trimming the hellraiser. Guys, found something we can watch together for christmas this year
