There seems to be more people who would rather do their big sales shopping online nowadays to avoid the big crowds at the stores. The interesting thing is many online companies actually stat their big sales online during this time on Christmas Eve or even right at the start of Christmas day at midnight. Amazon is an example of a large company that does that.
It’s kind of funny reading how people are say attending a Christmas event and yet you see they browsing online sites on their cell phones at the same time trying to buy all the good deals as they come up. Fortunately for me I live in a decent timezone and so I can usually just do a quick check before going to sleep. I can’t see how someone using say a smartphone can beat people sitting at home with their computers though as the load times must be a lot slower overall if you are trying to quickly put items in your shopping cart and then checking out.
