I'd love to see some real stats after this holiday season to show what online is doing to brick and mortar sales. More and more people I know barely go out to do traditional christmas shopping.
I haven't hit wal-mart, but I've been to Super Target a couple of times and I would say it was about the same as it would've been in the middle of summer. Same for Best Buy.
I love my Amazon Prime.
