Did you notice the malls felt quieter this holiday season? Turns out, a lot of us skipped the pre-Christmas shopping rush thanks to higher bills and pricier groceries. Instead, many waited for those juicy post-Christmas sales. The result? Fewer window shoppers, more targeted trips, and a third straight year of fewer people hitting the stores. Looks like online deals and budgeting are the new holiday tradition! #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailTrends
