Christmas shops

I went and did a round in a shopping mall downtown to see what kinds of things are being sold for christmas in US this year. All sorts of funny stuff, such as wrap it up and carry along electric piano (would fit into a large pocket), or armchairs with feet and back massage, or vacuum cleaning robot. Picture frame for digital photos, lots of carry alon DVD players with 7 inch monitors, mp3 players, even air cleaners (supposedly the deoxidize the air). All in all, lots of things to gawk at. Nicely the shops were almost empty too, even though it was like 5pm. Even though tomorrow is the main shopping day, I still would have expected to see more people. Strange.
