Holiday shopping refers to the practice of purchasing gifts and items during the festive season, typically around Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year. Many people take advantage of sales and promotions offered by retailers to find the perfect presents for family and friends. This period often sees increased foot traffic in stores and a surge in online shopping as consumers seek deals. During holiday shopping, consumers may create lists to organize their purchases and budget their spending. Popular items include toys, electronics, and clothing. Retailers often extend their hours and offer special events to attract shoppers, making it a busy time for both buyers and sellers.
