Honestly, it's all about losing sleep; though it does change the traffic flow a bit as this morning, local traffic reports showed quieter than normal conditions in my area, despite having a football game that was still going on when stores like Toys R' Us started their deals. To me, the only advantage to waiting for the last minute (the week or so before Christmas) is on seasonal items such as clothing and crafts. Many people, including my sister mom, went out to shop at midnight and didn't get home until 10:15 the next morning! Talk about being like an owl!
