Mall shopping has outlived its usefulness and is on the decline. I detest going to the mall, and buy most of what I need online, even clothes. Malls are pretty much thug hangout joints now and mall management has trouble keeping stores open.
This year I did about 80% of my Christmas shopping online. The rest was at individual stores for gift cards/certificates. Never visited a mall. The closest I came was a strip mall.
The shopping mall has had its day. In its prime it was great, but now it is something to avoid.
Yes, the vast majority of my Christmas shopping the past few years has been online or gift cards. I avoid malls like the plague. Used to enjoy going, but no more.

Tuesday mornings are safe. :-)

Brick and mortar stores are going the way of the dodo and newspapers.
I too buy on line. I shop for food and other consumables in stand alone or strip mall supermarkets or clubs like Costco(you need a membership card to enter and they check your cart on the way out). Most everything else can be purchased cheaper on line.
Malls, movies and newspapers. I wouldn’t go the grocery store if I wasn’t hooked on food.
