BY ALL REPORTS yesterday was a good shopping day. My wife and daughter spent most of the day in the stores, though they weren't among the early-risers. They were very pleased with the results.

As I predicted, online shopping was through the roof. Amazingly, the web sites for both Wal-Mart and Disney were shut down by the crush of traffic.

Glenn Reynolds the Instapundit is running a poll to see where folks plan to do most of their holiday shopping. Since you have to be online to get to his site, and blog readers are often a bit ahead of the curve technologically-speaking, I expect that the results of his survey might be skewed a bit in favor of online shopping. Still, head on over and put your two cents in.
