Its not just that. It is the fact that people like me did not visit ANY brick & and mortar stores prior to Christmas this past year. Why go to the mall at all when I can buy anything I want from the computer on my desk. The market share for all of these stores is being lost to Internet retailers.
I bought from LLBean, Campmore, Amazon, etc. The only physical building I entered to buy a Christmas gift was CVS for stocking stuffers and Walmart because I also needed a few groceries and I wanted to buy a CD for my son two days before Christmas. If I had planned ahead I would have ordered the CD from Amazon online.

I even order my groceries online through Amazon Fresh. Best grocery deivery service I have ever used. The quality of the food is excellent.
