For the first time, women made up the majority of holiday shoppers (at 56%, compared with 50% in 1999) and are positioned to become the power behind online shopping. I'm hear to tell ya, "Mama took to it like a Duck on Water" It went like this; Mama, "Give me the credit card number" Me, "Why?" Mama, "I'm gonna do the shopping on the Net if all you are gonna do is watch TV on the election results" Me, "Ok, here it is" Couple days later..... Shit started showing up from everywhere on from the UPS Man at the Office. She did most of that Power shopping all in one sitting one night...bout 4 hours. One note, Clothes...you want to buy those where there is a store near you for return on size or something....she did Pennys, which made that part easy. The bulk of the stuff though was the only way to shop. Go Mamas Go!
