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 shopping period often sees increased foot traffic in stores and a surge in online shopping. During holiday shopping, consumers may create lists to organize their purchases and budget their spending. Popular items include toys, clothing, and electronics. Retailers often extend their hours and offer special deals to attract customers, making it a busy time for both shoppers and businesses.
