Justin Martin+FollowColumbia Mall’s holiday rush: Fewer days, more hustleThis year’s holiday shopping season at Columbia Mall felt like a sprint, not a marathon. With Thanksgiving falling late, everyone had less time to find gifts, and the pressure was on.

Between gift wrapping, Santa visits, and packed stores, the mall buzzed with last-minute energy. How did you handle the time crunch? Did you shop local or stick to online orders? #Shopping #ColumbiaMall #HolidayShopping00Share
