WITH less two months before Christmas, many would have long be thinking of holiday shopping if only to avoid being all bruised up by a mob of fellow last minute shoppers in midnight bazaars or shopping mall on a pre-announced mega-discount sale.

The scene of elbows literally bruising on somebody else's arms would probably be how a typical last minute shopping would be seen via closed-circuit security cameras.

Awful and Annoying

Imagine spending hours shopping for presents for special people or buying stuffs for a special menu on the family's dining table.

Agony starts with a journey along the snow-filled roads leading to the downtown. As the downtown approaches, heavy traffic would keep you snail-paced, at least for an hour as more families (perhaps, just like the one you have), fill the streets for a buzzer beating last minute shopping.

Upon reaching the shopping mall or arcade, where you intend to get the best buys on your shopping list, comes another burden --- parking space. What's even more disappointing and annoying is the idea of having to go somewhere else as those in your ...
... shopping list are no longer available there.

Assuming shopping is consummated, comes the burden of the heavy and bulky shopping bags. Again, the traffic, notwithstanding the ire and hunger, would hound your way home --- that is if you've got your own car. What if you'd take the cab? How long will it take you to get one, considering that it's a shopping rush?

Today, most of us would opt for the wonders of the modern technology insofar as Christmas shopping is concerned.

Modern-day Alternative

Gone are these days as modern day technologies have already put in place provisions to comfort of the shopping population. The old thought of hopping from one shop to another for bargain hunting should be out of our checklist, so as the agony of heavy traffic at the snow-filled downtown roads leading to malls and bargain centers, much less sweat (or freeze to death) it out while trying to squeezing into a crowd of fellow last minute shoppers.

There is also no more need to bring home the huge, bulky and heavy shopping bags.

Internet Shopping

Internet shopping is the fine art (or should it be more appropriate to be considered as science) of shopping sans the burdens of holiday rush. One can actually do all the shopping right inside the comfort of our home, via online shopping.

Online or Internet shopping has made life a lot easier for most of us as most of shopping transactions (notwithstanding the holiday season) may now be consummated with just a click of the mouse. Browsing through various websites offering the best buys, discounts and promos, moms and dads have may now enjoy the luxury of dating as they save time, effort and even the limited family resources through the Internet shopping experience.

Most of the shops posted on the Internet offer free deliveries. There are some other probabilities like shopper picking it up on his way to office or before one goes home after a busy day in office

Now what would you opt? The agony of doing the actual shopping with your family or the comfort of doing the shopping via the Internet, where you'd still be able to get the best buys on your budget cap and many more. GP
