There are only four days left until Christmas and if your shopping list isn’t completely crossed off, you’re not alone.

CHCH’s Jeyan Jeganathan was at Mapleview Mall in Burlington Sunday afternoon where thousands of shoppers scrambled to get all their presents purchased.

One of the biggest challenges today was trying to find a parking spot in the first place.

There are many reason why some leave their shopping to the last minute, procrastination or just a very busy schedule among some.

Nearly 10% of Canadians say they’ll be doing their holiday shopping as the clock ticks down to the big day.

The same study by Deloitte, also found more people are doing their research online before they put boots to ground at the mall.

Most malls are operating on extended holiday hours and many are even open on Christmas Eve.
