We've all done it at some time or another. Waiting until the very last minute to brave the crowds at Highland Village or the Galleria. As we heard someone say, it's not so bad if you just suck it up and expect it to be a hassle.
We sent our photographer Dawn out to talk to some procrastinating shoppers. Meet Sean Waggoner. He and his daughters Tess and Reese are shopping for mommy at the Galleria, which was their first choice for presents.
Haley, Emily, and Morgan from Bridge City, TX, hit the Galleria to spend some of their Christmas money. They said they planned to do plenty more shopping today.
If there was a cause you wanted to support or protest, hanging out at the Galleria on Christmas Eve would be a great way to get a lot of eyes. Our photog spotted this group on Westheimer just west of the mall.

Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
