OK, procrastinators: If you’re planning on squeezing in some last-minute shopping today, the malls will certainly be busy, but not as much as in past years.
Many stores close early on Christmas Eve, so make sure you double-check the hours before you head out. Some last-minute shoppers who offered their own advice agreed: the earlier, the better.
“Hurry up and get in here, because the aisles are looking pretty empty in there,” said Randy Olscamp of Fort Myers.
Olscamp says most of the presents he ordered online are facing shipping delays and won’t make it on time, so he went to Target to buy some last-minute gifts. But he went Wednesday, to avoid the long lines he expects Christmas Eve.
